Ahoy,

Thanks for the quick reply. I am ready for the change. I really think it will be easier to let go when I do not have to see W so frequently. I just don't see it happening soon.

Things are really stalled. As I mentioned in a previous post, she is having all her needs met right now: OM is meeting he emotional needs, and I am meeting her financial needs. She is in no hurry to move things along.

So now I have to take charge and set up the mediation. I really did not want to be responsible for this process. I will have to pay for it as well.

Do you have to sleep in adjacent beds? Do you have to meet all of her needs? Can you perhaps set some boundaries for yourself and take the focus off of her a bit?


What the alternative to sleeping in adjacent beds? Which of her needs can I relinquish? What boundaries can I set? I have read some of the threads about setting boundaries, but I still am clueless about which to set and how to set them.

I'm sorry you're struggling. It will get better.


Thanks. Although I am having a rough day, I feel like I am handling things better than I have in the past. Whereas in the past, I would have been an emotional wreck for the whole day upon hearing about yet another of her indiscretions, I did still manage to get some work done today. I know things will get better. I just need to strengthen myself to move things along. I know it is in the direction of D, but I do not see much to salvage at this point.
