The current R is good. Don't want to spoil it.



Have you decided if you want to remain married to him? That’s what you should base your course of action on.

He’s already on a fast track to D you. I don’t see how worrying about spoiling the present R matters here, unless you want a friendly D, and to remain friends through it all and immediately afterwards.

If you want to save the marriage you buy time. Ask him about his confusion/reservations and ask for a delay in the process so you both can decide what you really want. You do have a say in this.

His perception of you and the M will not change next week, but it may months down the road.

Never mind him, what do you want? remember when he said you were too nice?
