Wow. Just got on this morning and there was a ton of messages in this thread. AD, why not do all the arranging for a babysitter? I've done this before. True, our dinners out often leave much to be desired, but then, so do dinners at home...at least I don't have to cook it and clean up afterwards. Just a thought.
I think you need to calm down, be patient and loving and confident. I know it's not your nature, but you seem almost explosive in your mood changes. Take a deep breath, dude.
And Superdave, leave this OW issue alone. Nothing but trouble there. It will cause pain to your W, to the OW and to you. Everything I've read about this OW tells me she's trouble. Even if you ended up with her permanently (not likely), you'd just be ending up with a whole new set of problems. Don't send her a card. Don't even think about her.
At least you guys have ML in the last 6 months. Sheesh.
