I am glad I sent the email, the cake eating had to be stopped regardless of the outcome of the marriage, for my self respect.

But I've re-read it 100 times and am driving myself crazy with what I shoulda/ coulda said.

But it definitely got the point across in a way that made it clear I'm still willing to save this marriage, and no ultimatums.

Honestly, it was time. I have been nothing but patient, supportive and compassionate for 5 months. It was time for him to get a little dose of reality into his fantasy world...reality being I will not be Plan B. His cake is crumbling. And I'm strong enough and ready to take the risk that he won't care.

I've come a long way. This is a new chapter.
