We can help you if you will post often. But, nothing will work until you drop the OW for good. Trust me. Your connection with the OW was an emotional affair (not a can of worms) and what you said about your W not respecting the M vows?......

to me it feels like she doesnt realize that this is a marriage and that its not just a boyfriend/girlfriend situation. I feel like she should respect the vows she took and atleast try to make things work.


You need to own your part of the breakdown of the M, and I can tell ya.....this five-year EA of yours is what tore your M apart. So, are you still talking to the girl?


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
