I, like you Starsky and Denver, and many other vets agree that "I will not be in your life" boundary is vital and required for a marriage to mend.

So, we agree there and always have.

I think we disagree on the when. And I don't have any faith in back channel information on something this important, in so much that the information isn't telephone game screwed up by the time it gets to the spouse.



I think that it depends on the specifics of the situation. For me, I have a hard time imagining me being a part of my W's life knowing that she was also with OM.

After this conversation, I now think that I am lucky that I did not know of the PA at the beginning.
