Have you heard back from Dr. Harley?
I agree with SugarCane. I think the letter to OM’s parents is too long. I would make it shorter like the example, but give them the information about being their grandkid’s pediatrician.

Re: WW and closure?

Just wanted to jump in. I find our story similar as we also kissed goodnight each night, played games, but as my WW put it, it's like we are an old couple and just friends. I also have a 9 yo son. There is a good tread about that: https://forum.marriagebuilders.com/ubbt/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2566583#Post2566583I did tell my son; basically it's so that he knows what is going on and not confused or worse, blaming himself. He balled out crying, saying he didn't want us to divorce. I told him that what my WW is doing is unacceptable in marriage, but he needs to still love her. He might not accept what she is doing, but he needs to love and accept her as his mom. It worked out; he is coping well 7 days after exposing to him. My wife is absolutely pissed that I told him, she feels he is too young, but I stand by my decision. It is also a life lesson; if my son can learn from this when he grows up, I hope he will have a stronger marriage.

Also, why are you posting in the divorcing thread if you have no intention to divorce her? I think the standard approach here is to stay in your old thread unless something has majorly changed. It seems in your case nothing has changed. You started posting here during her 1st affair, and now you are posting again on her second affair. You should ask the mods to combine your two threads so people can read your story and know the entirely I think. Anyway, that is what I would do. I think you should be in the having an affair thread.

Thank you SugarCane. I guess I began tolerating a "good enough" marriage way too long ago to make a difference, but at some stage one makes a judgment of how life has turned out. Finding Marriage Builders gave me a hope that perhaps it could be turned back into a great marriage, but there seems to be just too much water under the bridge now.
Sad but true.

Hi. Thank you for posting, but I can't work out whether you have a question for us, and what it is.
If not, I'd only advise you to be careful about talking about private things in your backyard. You should anticipate that someone could hear you.
