Hi D2ndday!

Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone! We are both in the same situation. I found out a month ago, he still sees the OW, and he still lives at home (most nights). Like you, I struggled and I still am...

After countless nights and days, trying to figure out the whys? Make him go or leave? What next? Should I take initiative and call the L, sale the house? ...I was putting endless energy into trying to "do things" as a reaction to him and his decisions. I then realized that I cannot change his mind or control what he does or why. All I can do is make the best decisions for me. I am not talking about the long term... I am living in the moment. So instead of staying home and wondering where he is or when and if he is coming home, I make dinner for myself, take a walk, and go to the library...anything to distract me...

In time, these new habits become routine and you find yourself not thinking of the situation as much. This gives your spouse space and allows you to clear YOUR head. You then can start thinking about what do YOU want. I think at the begging, we are all in shock and desperately running around trying to mend our hearts, our lives...take time to heal and find you again...the rest will follow!
