GC, sounds like you are making progress and the fog may be lifting...
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">So here's my take on Plan A (a strong Plan A, no chasing, no begging, no pleading, no LBing, improve yourself): Act like a friend to your spouse. This is how most affairs start right? Be a friend and just listen. Don't push your views on them, just listen. Let them know you are there, let them know they can trust you totally with their fragile heart. Now hopefully, if he decides to work this out, we start in good terms, he will know that my boundaries I set are in good intentions for our marriage, not to hurt him. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I think this is a good approach, if you are going to start over, start as friends first.

His first try was right after D-Day, second try was a year ago. Now here we go again, but I feel like I am in more control right now. I know what my beliefs are and I will stick by them. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Third time worked for us...you being in more control will make a big difference... Keep up the good work.. Dave

Hopefully she's begging, looking clingy, I am not!!

ok now, I thought WH was kidding about this, forgot to mention it yesterday, he was saying that he wished he could talk to Dr. Phil to help him straighten his head out, that Dr. Phil would have a hayday with him. He was joking around and saying,yea, we could go on Dr. PHil's show, get free counseling, etc. I just got an email from him, he actually sent them info. if you got to www.drphil.com there is a link on the front page for stories, one of them being affairs. he emailed and asked me to do it to, for a double shot!! Is this the dopiness in the fog??? I'll be back later, gotta got to a meeting <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Hi going,
your H is great!!!! DO IT!!!!!!! As a BS I would say that this is definately showing "courage" because not many would be willing to make their affair public! This is something you "must" tell him, how prowd you are about him. Show him your admiration. (of course, only if you feel the same as I would)
Just the thought gives me the shivers. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
My H did almost everything, but he never would of done this. He was much too ashamed.
BB
