Dr. Harley�s (From SAA)

(OP), I want you to know that out of respect and love for my wife and children, I have come to realize that I must never see or talk with you again. My relationship with you was a cruel indulgence that (BS) did not deserve. While I cannot completely repay (BS) for the pain I have caused her, I will do my best to become the husband she�s been missing. I care a great deal for my family and I would not want to do anything to risk their happiness. I will not make any further contact with you and I do not want you to make any contact with me. Please respect my desire to end our relationship.
Sincerely,
(WS)

Mrs. Jayban,

I am very pleased to see you taking steps to make this right.

Nobody ever regrets doing the right thing.

Nobody.

I do invite you to post here as you trangress this difficult period in your life.

Anything anyone said about you previously on this board was all in an effort to support YOUR family and YOUR marriage. It was not personal only a reflection of your Wayward status. YOU have the power to change that perception and restore yourself and your family.

You are both in our prayers.

Mr. Wondering

S,

You will not regret doing the right thing. It may be difficult for the first few months, but trust me, you can and will build a better marriage than ever. Also, time heals all wounds. Last November, my sister called up my wife and told her off. Just last night, she asked my wife to be one of her bridesmaids. As you rebuild your relationship with Jay, the other ones will follow. You two are in my thoughts and prayers. S, I want you to know that anything I wrote was to help Jay through this terrible ordeal. I have prayed for you and have a ton of respect for what you are doing. Good luck.

Welcome, Mrs. Jayban!

You are in the right place to find the tools to rebuild your marriage into something wonderful.

I have to tell you that I greatly admire your husband for his persistent fight for your marriage. He loves you and your daughter very much.

No contact is already broken...friend caught him at her house this morning, she called in sick and stayed home.

I've spoken with her since then, and our status is unknown at this moment.

I'll be going dark on these boards again, thanks to all for your help. I'll pop back in when something substantive occurs again.

I think it is time to pay OM a visit face-to-face (with friends of yours for witnesses of course) instructing him to leave your WW alone.

Up, then down. Hope you didn't have a full stomach. Roller coaster.

I'm sorry Jayban. Been checking for status, update. Was happy for you, but now this.

Know that you have our support. Any chance your DD will want to live with you while WW sorts this out?

Thanks all for the help, I greatly appreciate it.

Belle,

It's tough to say whether my DD would want to live with me while WW sorts this out. That's been on my mind, and she is a major focus for me. Unfortunately, I don't get to see DD.
