Just to be clear and following on GM's post:

I DID confront... a number of times... I actually know very few who actually haven't and I have no idea the ratio of those who have and have not confronted, who have reconciled or not...

What I DO know is I confronted... and it didn't work well, for me... it hurt... and it hurt a lot... and the lies hurt, even more... so the A was going to happen anyhow... had I not asked... I would have had fewer lies that hurt...

But the choice is yours, rick...
