R2C,I thought that when it comes to admitting if there is or is not another woman involved, we should keep that quiet and stay the mystery man to keep them guessing from some of the responses I've seen.
Coach was very wise. He attracted his wife back. He helped others do the same.
What works for some does not work for others. What does not work for some, my work for others. It is all about being aware of the choices. Everyone has to evaluate their options and pick what they believe will work. Try it for a while, if it works keep doing it. If it doesn't try something else.

I know in my sitch W asked a few times and I chose twice not to be mysterious but up front and let her know point blank I wasn't with someone else. I did feel like I was throwing it in her face one time when I think I said something like I don't need to stoop that low to be with someone else or something like that. I think someone said that was a bit passive aggressive and I have to agree. Nobody likes Mr Self Righteous either.
Look closely how coach worded his response. He speaks the truth. He shows his core values. He is not being passive aggressive.
