Thanks for the wonderful advice. Especially with the trashySpringer Show analogy. Definitely going to use that when thinking about W texting OM. Not only is it trashy, but its sad as well watching W send out a dozen text, just to get a single response from OM. Now thinking about it the whole thing is just sad seeing W reduced to being the OW. Other than sex, not really sure how she benefits from the A. But that's not my problem.
As for stepping up GAL. I have an event Friday night to attend. And Saturday morning a nice long 4 hour hike with a group. Out of town this week, so I'll have several things to work on at the house this weekend to keep me busy. And will probably get a membership at Planet Fitness. I have a weight bench at the house, but I can actually interact with people at an actual gym. Thanks for the motivation.
These are good things. This will save you. It may or may not save your marriage but it'll definitely save you and that's the top priority.
You're welcome on the Springer analogy. That worked wonders for me. I used to be crushed when I know she was on her phone or tablet and texting people that I knew were men. One day I was flipping channels and came across Springer and it had cheating spouses, men and women, and I saw the similarities. At that point I realized my WW was a trashy Jerry Springer-type cheater. I started to laugh at her shenanigans instead of letting them get to me. "How pathetic, look what you've become" was my general thought toward her, even though I didn't say that.
They've made a joke of themselves and jokes are funny. Now that you think of it that way watch how your attitude toward it changes. You're too good to be pulled into being a guest on the Springer show. Don't allow yourself to be.
