"I will never be allowed to be my broken, weak self around someone."

This isn't true. We all are broken and weak. The difference between being broken and weak and attractive, and being broken and weak and unattractive is whether or not we wallow in our broken and weak. Broken and weak and working on it is always more attractive than broken and weak and saying "oh well, woe is me".

oops, what exactly are you waiting for on letting her know you know? I think the R talk she initiated was the perfect time.

Her: "Do you want me to move out?"
You: "As long as there is someone else, yes."
Her: "What?"
You: "I know what is going on. And I want you out of the bedroom and into guest bedroom at a minimum. If you can swing moving out, even better."
Her: "But what about us?"
You: "There is no us with someone else in the picture."
Her: "What do I need to do to fix this?!"
You: "You need to prove to me that it is through for good. I want to be with you when you send him a cease and desist message. I want full transparency from here on out. And then I will need to see that it stays that way for some time before I am ready to recommit back to "us"".
