Hey CT,

I belive my WW has affaired down as well. Her A partner is also someone from work, he's 6 years older, has major back problems, no money, and no real future for him. I myself am much like you, professional job, lots of awards and recognition over the years.

My wife at one point even said she is so conflicted because on the one hand she has a prince (referring to me) whith stability, a future, and the history we have together. On the othe hand she has a pauper (referring to OM) with no future, no money, no security, but she won't stop seeing him.

I also agree that the communication is a driving force in her keeping the A going. I've been listening to the things that she says about how her AP tells her exactly what he wants, is more confident in what he tells her and doesn't try to control her. All things I'm trying to work on. I defintely lost my confidence in communicating with her over the years.

I don't know if she'll ever come back to the MR, but definitely feel in myself that I'm finding that confidence again. I have a long ways to go, but making progress one day at a time.
