The hard part will be when everything opens and she wants to go out with her girlfriends. I can't say she can never go out but I asked if we could come up with a plan-not staying out too late, checking in with me, letting me know who she is with, etc.


Good! IMHO, she doesn't need to engage in a girls' weekend trip, or an overnight, for a while. She may be doing fine, but if her friends partake in any activities that involved drinking and men.........her resolve may weaken significantly. Currently, she seems agreeable to most everything you mentioned. I think that's good. Just realize that she's going to have low moments where she might resent it.

The chemicals that flood the brain whenever a person is emotionally/physically involved with an affair partner, is extremely addictive. At some point, if she seems depressed or you think she's a little distant, then let me know and I will give you some suggestions. There are things you can do to encourage her through down times.


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
