Thanks guys. I am hoping I can deal with him better when he's home and we are around the kids.

I just have NO respect for someone who can say they love their wife, want to start counseling...and then go spend the week before Christmas with the OW. I guess maybe I just need to view him as a sick person.

I'm also so fed up with handling everything for him. It would be different if we were separated or divorced and so he knew he had to do his own share (okay, it'd be worse to have to coordinate)...but, with a cake eater...it just feels ridiculous.

I did buy him a couple shirts and a hat which I will probably just say are from the kids.
