In my personal life, I tend to care what normal, trustworthy people think of me and my life. Their opinion matters to me. If someone in my life is a cheat and a liar, I spend zero of my headspace thinking about what I should do or say and how they might take it.
This is so true. Life is too short to give anyone that treats you badly the time of day.

I agree. If you want to have one more decorating day with your children than as others stated dress to the 9s and head out afterwards.

This is so true and you will see it someday down the road.

Unfortunately this is also true. Sad but true.

DW one thing I can always guarantee is placating never works.

This made me spit my coffee (thanks Kind18). Again sad but true. She is emasculating you. DO NOT LET HER.

YES.
One last thing DW. Please under no circumstances tell her again you don't want a divorce. She knows it. Believe me she knows it and is using it against you.
