It is nice to get a different perspective, isn't it! One can then see where the positives are. I hope the chat with your friend gave you more hope and motivation.
I found it so weird, too, that our WAS's don't see what they are doing - not only to their S's, but to the children - to the family that they helped build. They somehow find a way to justify their actions, but I believe that deep down, they know. They know that what they are doing is wrong, but they want to find a way to make it right, but it never will be. Agh! It drove me nearly nuts trying to figure it out, until I got to the place I'm in now. Peaceful detachment! Not worrying about what he may or may not be doing. If he is being unfaithful, I will find out when the time is right, and I will be able to say "adios"! And, just walk away, knowing I did all I could.
Hope you week is going well. Mine is going great!
