Quote: but I still think that, since most affairs crash and burn sooner or later... then the longer and more contact they have together, the closer they come to their probable demise... just let it crash and burn
Yeah, i agree with NYS. After the Bomb Drop, I read something like 12-13 books on infidelity, affairs, divorce etc. They all said the above is true. This is what I force myself to think every time I see them walking into the grocery store. Evertime I get wind that OP's picking up D13 at gymnastics. Every time I hear that D13 is going to "stay at the condo today because she has 'supervision'". Every time I see that damned Silver Impala cruising down the street condo bound (Enough examples?).
Again, someday the dilemma may well be her at the front door..."So let me get this straight, you and the OP are finished? Uh-huh,...And you want to try and start fresh? Right,...And you're sorry and think you need help? OK,...soooo, you want to move back in? Yeah, well, I'm going to have to get back to you on that."
Michelle, if and when that time comes, you may jump into his arms and knock him to the floor and give him 1001 kisses until he almost stops breathing (Wow, that sounds nice...anyway, I digress) or you may say, "Yeah, well, I'm going to have to get back to you on that."
Only you'll know but let it happen. We have to give these things a chance to fizzle out like a cheap side-of-the-road-fireworks-stand fountain. Either they will or they won't. We can't control it.
