Eric is right this is the worse part...anyone can do better. Statistically...only about %50 of people can do worse for any length of time.
I will say, it can get better. But you have to be willing to go through hell, on the chance she comes back out with you.
LOL Jack I really do enjoy your sense of humor it does give me a laugh. Yes I do agree that this right here right now is the worst part. I really thought I went through hell before when she had two affairs in the past but this "stuck in the mud" feeling [censored]. Overall I'm very happy with the progress I am making and I know there is room for improvement. I guess it's only natural to start to have these feelings that she will never come around, never be the wife I've always wanted. I would be lying if I said I didn't think about moving on with someone else and that it would be my W's loss.
Jack thanks for posting and I hope you don't stop. I can use your knowledge and wisdom.
