I have no idea if your friend is right and your WW is one of those who is too damaged to try R or simply doesn't care.

I know you feel hopeless but you need to get a grip of yourself. You need to find the strength to be strong for yourself and your son. I could blow sunshine up your rear but that's not going to help you. I don't have a crystal ball...no one does. The only choice you have is to work on yourself and build a better life for yourself and your child even if that is without WW.

So one more :twobyfour:

and a hug I hope you find YOUR strength.

Thank you Raven. I know I sound like a chump, but you know how hard it is. Youre also correct when you say no one has a crystal ball. I know no one can tell me exactly what to do to make everything right again, but I always try to look for "the" way to do it. I dont know if its the way I was raised, or if its the Marine in me.

Anyway, as I said before I am still not going to contact her. I feel that if a snowball has any chance in hell, then NC is it. Im also working on myself while doing this. Im trying not to sit around and do nothing, but its still a little hard for me to go out.

Thanks again for the support and the advice Raven. Revelation, thank you for your advice as well. I know you are trying to help me and I really do appreciate it. I have been facing reality every day though, and trying to carry on with helping myself and my son. However, from what I have seen in this life, I know that reality is constantly changing, and ANY situation can be influenced. I know I cant change her mind for her, but if there is something I can do to help her see "The Light" then I'm going to find it.

Please call the Harleys. It is a lot cheaper than a divorce.

You need to stop all the dramatics. Now. Do you really think that your recent behavior is going to make her want to come home and spend time with you?

Plan B is used after a very good Plan A. It seems to me that you didn't do that. If you Plan B her now her last memories of you are going to be of an angry lunatic stalking her home, making demands of her property and ripping her cell phone from her hands. Do you really think that anyone would fine any appeal in that?

If it were me I would try a really good plan A. Fill her needs that she will let you fill. Perhaps acts of service or conversation. You want to show her that you can be a better choice than her affair partner.

Remember how that guy you once were treated his girlfriend that was your wife way back when you were dating? (that was clumsy) Anyway, be him.

But frankly, I would call the Harleys and find out what they think.
