so I am to continue plan A with him not in the house? b/c so far I havent talked to him sice he CALLED to tell me he was leaving for a while (yesterday afternoon). My gut tells me not to call b/c he will just see this as chasing him, but how do I remain "his best friend" as plan A states if I am not talking to him?

I am so worried about seeing him tonite. He is "babysitting" while I teach a class. I just cant deal with coming home late and watching him walk out the door. I almost want to have someone else there for the "swap."

cant - Do you have your copy of Surviving An Affair yet?

If yes, please re-read all the information about Plan A because I don't think you got it the first read through.

If no, get a copy, and in the meantime read everything you can find on this site about Plan A.

The technical answer is yes - until you identify and fix all your contributions to the poor pre-affair marital state AND demonstrate your fixes to the extent he allows you.

Yes, talk to him! Just don't whine, beg, and plead. Be the woman he fell in love with. Don't "chase" him, attract him.

so, I should call him and make the first contact? Wont this cloud his alone time and make him resentful? I have read plan a in SAA several times, but I just can't fit it into his decision to leave the house.

Read it again, cant.

You can't fit it into his decision to leave the house maybe because there's no "fitting" to be done there.

Baloney.

Yes call him.

Think about this. How can you attract him if you don't interact with him?

Alone time, schmalone time.

Baloney. You bought that crapola? Don't.

Why do you think he's alone?

But, EXPECT him to be resentful. Assume he's being resentful because you're being loving. Pretty stupid, huh?

Let him be stupid. You be smart and loving and attracting.
