Mike, Sorry you're going through this. I think I can speak for many of us, we do like to hear the other point of view. Hopefully we can provide that other point of view for you. I give you a lot of credit in trying to break the addiction. Good for you.
As far as my sitch, my H did it AGAIN. He spend the day with OW again yesterday and lied about it, when just yesterday morning in marrige counseling, he said things were great (which I thought as well) and he wanted to move back home. We had a great week and weekend together. We were connecting. Things were getting back to normal, but in some ways they were even better. I guess they weren't good enough.
When I finally found out that he's still taking to her and had most likely spend the day with her, i finally told him i was done and that i made the choice for him... the he can go with her. GOD, I hope i did the right thing. But this is now the sixth time he has "slipped" and gone back to her in one capacity or another. That's just too many times, right? i mean at this point, he needs to stop cake eating and start feeling the true pain of losing me and our life together. UGH... I hope I did the right thing.
MIke, Here's what I want to understand... you love your wife but are having a hard time staying away from OW. I dont' get that. I feel like if my H wants to be with OW, that means he doesn't love me or want me. I feel like second best.
