Just a short update;
I am still seeing an IC and it has helped a tremendous amount. I’m in love with myself for the very first time in my life. I feel stronger, clear minded and in control. My wife elected to stop seeing our MC as she has come to decision. My wife has decided to separate. She claims that over the years her feelings toward me have “chipped” away and under the current tension and pressure at home she cannot “feel”. I am very proud of myself of the efforts that I put forward in order save our marriage and will continue to do so as I see fit. I most definitely I have made some mistakes during this seven month journey such as letting my anger, frustration and emotional pain get the better half of me and latching out at my wife. I also learned by exposing the affair to everyone was not helpful as some people latched out at my wife which created a huge set back for us, created additional distance between us and upset yet another relationship within friends and both families.
I am confident that I will survive for the better and I’m extremely sorrow for our children for they will suffer greater because their parents inability to reconsolidate and have no choice.
For my wife to give up half of the children lives (joint custody) and half of her pension speak volumes…she does not want me/us…and for what?
If she wanted me/us, we could have a successful relationship…you can lead a horse to water”…
Thanks for” ears”

You were vauge on who you exposed.

How did OMW react when told and what did she do?

You went solo, meaning you stayed away from here for a long time. Lost out on getting help. For as each stage took place different stratigies could of been offered.
