GB, I should have backed off. He kept trying to leave and I stood in the doorway, literally and figuratively. It was bad. What you said about driving him to cheat because he'll feel he has nothing to lose makes a lot of sense. In MC he brought up that I've always called him a liar. He just started believing that's all he could be. I wouldn't believe him anyway, so why not? I definitely can't do that anymore. Our C had us agree to not call each other names anymore. To not tell each other what they are. I used to threaten to leave. He never did. Then he actually did leave, and just threatened it a few days ago. We need to agree to not say that unless we mean it wholeheartedly. Sorry about all of this jumbled into one paragraph! I've had a hell of a day (not related to J).

Rick, no, I haven't. I will, though! Maybe there will be techniques that can help me. He didn't technically cheat. He left for many reasons, and attraction to OW was one of them. I believe it was the catalyst. Another person often is.
