Quote: Yesterday when all this happened...as well as when I saw him today, I was the frickin' posterchild for calm, cool, collected. There was no yelling, no crying, no blaming, simply stated how I felt. I think it was my DBing's finest hour.
That is amazing! Wow. That's impressive that you were able to channel all you anger away from him.
Quote: That leaves me in a tough position. The amount of contact he has with me - when I tell him to knock it off (of course in much nicer terms), it makes him do it more. When I say no more ML - it puts his libido into overdrive.
So, if you don't give it to him and he doesn't really like ML to the OW, what would happen to him in a couple of weeks? Might it not be enough to get him to get off the fence and make a decision? Honestly, NM, the weirdest thing about your sitch is that your SO seems to be desperately pursuing you, even as he continues the A. I personally don't think you're in any danger of his simply deciding to walk away from you forever.
Quote: All my kids will ever think is that she, like everyone else is just a friend.
Highly doubtful. Our kids are smarter than our WAS's think. The very fact that it had to stay a "secret" was enough to tell your D that this was no ordinary friend.
The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." (Psalm 145:18)
