I want to thank you for all that you've done here. For others, and for me.
Plus, thanks for making me laugh with your gifted wit.
I have the utmost faith in your future happiness and well being. You have done the hardest, bravest work, and that is always the most rewarding.
Apparently, your w has been going through more than we knew, and for longer.
How ashamed & alienated she must have felt at her own father's funeral, seeing you be the man most like him. All while knowing her OM mistake was going to cost her so much...or perhaps she debated what to do with it.
I don't think Affairs themselves are worse b/c a child comes of it; adultery is adultery and if a child comes of it, the negligence is stupidity, as opposed to another "dark choice". Make sense? Oh well, Never mind. Not your problem.
Please Understand my next comment to be only an observation, not a recommendation for or against. Here it is... A reconciliation, someday, does not need to be ruled out b/c a child comes into the world. Just Know that: Not reconciling isn't the same as failing, for you have truly "won" the real battle. You are a brave, good and honest man. You know how to give and receive love. Such are the victories of the real battles in life.
May God bless and comfort you, my friend.
