Hello to all...

I will be seeing WH for the first time in over 6 months (deployed). We have recently talked and he said he's not confused , he has realized that he trully love me, that him wanting to stay with me is not for the kids , but that he needs me as his wife, best-friend, lover, companion, etc.
But that he does love the OW and if I'm willing to make things work knowing that. (He said hes not going to continue relationship with her but that he wants to be honest that he does love her.) Basically, he said we treat him the same, Is she just a replacement of me while he's away?

Still in Plan A, and I dont know how I'm going to re-act in seeing him, I feel so excited, hurt, sad, mad, happy , all in one! Can anyone help ease these feelings and what I should do? I'm so afraid of LB , bringing up the past but yet there is so much that hasnt been covered about the A. (I know enough but ashould I know more?)

Please, ANYONE HELP

Well, I don't think it should be swept under the rug..especially since you may experience future deployments.

It's be good if others with military and deployment experience advise you.

I understand your apprehension, anxiety, and anticipation of his return.

Oh, NO this wont be swept under the rug...... NOT AT ALL. I' am not the nieve BS I used to be. This forum has helped me understand alot of issues needed in a marriage that need to be addressed. Plus, this A no matter how hurtful has helped our M and opened our communication.
Im not condoning the A but it has helped our relationship.
