Wow Jennifer....

That was inspirational. Thanks for the advice. I think one of the most difficult tasks in all this is how to put on the "show" of acting as if, when I really feel like you know what. I did a lot of blaming and went so far as to tell my H at some point that I don't need him. That is one of the worst things you can say to your S. Everyone is needed and I blame myself for a lot of what happened to us even though I know it was him too. I'm not sure what my H had to this day. He definitely had an EA and it looks like you had the same reaction from your H that I did. My H, after I caught him embraced with the OW, (did I mention it was our 21 year old Nanny...read my thread in the newcomers forum, "Hope Comes & Goes", I am 36), he proceeded to tell me that everything that I saw was completely innocent and that they became friends and talked. Then the cell phone bill came. My trust isn't really there but I have stopped interrogating him face to face. I do believe she is gone and that he is trying. I just don't know how much he was into her and how long, if and when, until he forgets or stops wanting her. I think I will try what you do and tell myself to "STOP" out loud. Again, it's a matter of self discipline. My biggest problem is we do not talk at all about what happened or our feelings. I know this is a big no no and that I am supposed to keep the conversation light and happy, like we used to before all this ugly stuff came between us. Keep the advice flowing, your posts are comforting! Thanks
