MrBond, 25,

I agree with what both of you are saying.

Interestingly, the day the OM leaves out of state this month (26th) will mark the 3 month anniversary of BD. I know 3 months is nothing and I have a long LONG way to go.

My W never mentioned what she will do when he moves away. She has no intentions of moving down there with him (she says). For all I know, he may fly back every weekend just to see my W.

I know I'm supposed to not focus on the OM and that my W's decision to leave is independent of the OM. But it's just so hard to accept that concept because logically speaking, I know how much more the odds are stacked against me with OM in the picture.

Something my W said to me about 6 weeks ago may be worth noting -- "I know that you say there are solutions and that our marriage can be fixed. And maybe if [OM] didn't come into my life, I would have tried to fix it with you. But you have to understand, I'm really in love with [OM]. You have to believe me."
