But then there's a tiny voice in my head that says it's only been 4 weeks since I confirmed the affair...maybe he's trying to figure out how to get out of it? I don't know. I think that's just wishful thinking.
You take a stand for your family, tell her to buzz off and honor your commitments!
I have known about her since April (though he lied about it, just talking at that point, now I know it's been physical for months) and once in May and again in July when he said he wanted to work on the marriage I said OK, but what about her. You can't work on the marriage with her in the background. Both times he told me in the morning OK, he wants to work on it...then that same night he said never mind, we're done. Can't do it. But it has nothing to do with her. Ha!
So obviously he hasn't figured out how to get out of it yet...I don't think he's even trying or ever going to. He just wants me to hang around in case it doesn't work out.
