Starting to do things right?

[CWOL]

There really is no going back after you Expose. I did it because my WW told me she was intent on separating/divorcing, nothing I said could change her mind. So I figured I had nothing to lose.

When I did it, I did feel a tremendous sense of liberation, empowerment, and vindication. I received support from most of the people I exposed to for our marriage, most of them were shocked but they wanted to help me continue. My WW ended up not talking to ANY of her friends, except the one friend that stood on her side ("I support WW," she told me.) Several of the friends tried very hard to break through, and one actually plotted with me to surprise her. However, there was no talking her out of it, and her mother and cousin ended up helping her with the retainer for the D lawyer.

WW told me that my Exposure drove the stake through our marriage, there is no chance for reconciliation because of it. But I asked her, didn't you tell me there was no chance to start with? What difference is there now?

I don't really think in the end it made the road to R any more impossible. In her first EA 17 years ago, I exposed to her parents and my sister, that was it. This time it was a larger group of close friends.

Again, you are the best judge of your situation and you should do what you think is right.
