Thank you all for the well wishes and comments thus far. So, its my understanding that I should forgo going to the counseling re/engage program until she gives up the other man? She is saying she wants to go to the program to see if there is any hope in the marriage and then she will give up the man. Seems like a catch 22. My thought process at the moment is that the program is just over 24 hours from now as Im typing this. I have nothing to lose between now and then and I will go with her to the program. Then, after the program is over tomorrow night, in my mind the clock is ticking and perhaps I draw a hard line in the sand with an ultimatum and time frame. Id she refuses to stop seeing him, I can pretty much assume it is over and then continue on with the divorce proceeding in about 28 days. Does anyone think this is a good/bad plan? Thoughts?
Its a good plan if you want to be divorced.
She has to decide to give up OM. If you try to push her to decide it, she is going to resist and rebel.
This divorce is about you protecting yourself -- not about punishing her.

Sorry, I should have been more clear.
I dont think its a good idea to say "If you are still seeing OM then I am going to keep the divorce proceedings on track."
Better is to say that "I am not interested in staying in a relationship with someone who is seeing another person."
In the second phrasing, it's about you and what you will accept. The first is about trying to control her actions.
