Upside, I so understand where you are!

When H said he wanted to stay married, I never felt he was really dedicated to making it work. I always felt that I had taken a back seat to other things - like the business. I spent so many evenings just sitting at home waiting on him, hoping for some conversation or something. I came to feel like we were just roommates with benefits.

And, like you I feel like I am done. But, I see a loved one "in trouble" for lack of a better way to put it and my instinct is to reach out and help. But, on the other hand, I am so angry about having to go through this again, that I just want to hurt him back. I am just so torn. I cannot imagine going through that a third time. Please know that my prayers are with you.

Like you, I just don't see how I can ever trust him to not do this again.

All I know at this point, is that I -- we -- have to figure out what is best for us and move forward from there. I love him and I am assuming that you love your H, but at what point do you just say enough is enough.

It's funny - that old saying - fool me once .... has gone through my mind many times during the last few weeks.

I hope you find the direction that you need to do what it is best for you.

Thanks for your support.
