Well S6 said OM's name about half a dozen times this weekend.
Just wondering what you wife would say if she heard S6 saying the same sort of things about OW, in reference to you? Things seem to be stuck for you because it is where W wants hem to be. But she doesn’t want to cut the cord. That, and her crying, tells me she wants to hang on to you. If she knows you are leaving her, how do you think she will respond?
Some people are afraid to move on and for good reason. Doing so could cement a divorce. But I think it depends on the people. In your case, and mine, I think our wives really want a certain type of marriage, to us, but their issues prevent this as much as our actions do. My wife seems to understand that I cannot continue as we have and is not willing to talk and work on the relationship. Things have warmed up during the last two weeks. But I had to drop the bomb myself before it got her attention.
