My husband told me that I really don't love him because if I really did, I would let him go.
I think that's a bunch of fog talk. His affair has been over since 10-20-2003. I have been more open and honest with my feelings of love for him since the discovery of the affair, but this line is making me crazy. Has anyone else been hit with this one???

Dear I Can,

That seems ridiculous to me. Does he want to save the marriage? If so, do plan A!

Only HE has the power to make the decision to stay. Make sure that he understands that if he stays, it is entirely of his volition. He is free to go anytime.

Put this back in his court IMMEDIATELY, otherwise he will just blame you for his own decisions.

"Honey, you are right. I love you too much to keep you against your will. If you want to leave, I won't stand in your way. I wish you the best."

Thank you for the replies.

I feel the need to post our entire story. When I get home from work I will post and hopefully will get some good feedback.

I have no one I can talk to these past months except my husband. He is my life, my love and everything I've evern wanted in a man - smart, handsome, funny, awesome body, sexually amazing and family oriented. How could this have happened to us??
