What do I do next? Part 2

[luvhurts49]

Just like you're saying MrBond, I'm kinda hoping that after a while the OM will leave my W for one reason or another. Then maybe she will see that the grass isn't greener and that the OM isn't her soulmate.

Obviously my W loved me enough at one time to be with me for 20 years, M for 4 years, and to have 2 kids with me. So I believe that I am the better man, just not the better man right now (or so she thinks).

The last year has been really tough for me personally and I know it affected my M and my W. My mom had cancer, had problems with my best friend, and was internally dealing with the guy (later the OM) she was working with (jealousy). I know that I need to shine brighter now than ever in order to get my W back, but it is really hard because as the time apart (and the OM) has grown longer and longer, my W is getting more and more angry and is seeing me less and less.
