No...it is cake eating.

He has the OW...and he has you waiting in the wings.

Why are you waiting for him to make the decision???

He is incapable of making any decision that involves brain cells right now.

YOU make the decision!

I must have missed the initial purpose of the thread...

and YOUR use of the word, "LOST"

led me to believe that you don't know which way to turn.

I am lost but for my own self preservation am not wallowing in it. He sends ims implying his desire to return? But he just cant. People say because hes terrified of my verbal outburts and rejection....He should be terrified...Like I'd welcome him with open arms? Yea, lost...When do you just say enough is enough? And why should I be the one to ask for anything? Hes the one who needs to come to me...

Tell him to end his affair FIRST and then you can decide. He is not serious now because a) he has not ended his affair and b) he is far from committed to your marriage when he says he "wants to see if there is anything to build with..."

In other words, he wants to have more options for FLOP HOUSES. He wants you to be availabile to USE.

On 4-11 you said he told you he drinks "a lot less." A which is it?
