I am certain I will not remain in a marriage to a man who is in love with another woman.

OK.
How did it feel to say this to yourself?

I am certain I will not stay under the same roof with a man who cannot commit to me.

Well, you better mean this if you say this to yourself.
It's like a promise you make to yourself.

It actually feels crappy to admit the man who is supposed to love me is actually in love with someone else.

I am sure I am not prepared for Plan B - however having him out of here at least tonight will give me some breathing space.

It is your hope and prayer that your WH can become the man you will want to remain with.
It is not certain if that is possible, but at this time, it is your desire to try.

Makes perfect sense.

Now I think he is selfish.

Yes.
All people in affairs are selfish.
If he does not change ... and remains selfish, you will know what to do.

Actually what you were supposed to say aloud was

Quote:I am certain I will not remain in a marriage to a man who is in love with another woman.

This excercise is about what YOU can control and decide not what HE chooses to do.

When you say that you will not remain in such a marraige if he continues to do that DO YOU MEAN IT ? think

If you don't already have it... go to the nearest bookstore and buy Surviving An Affair.

Or, order from this site.

I take it then I am supposed to say this out loud to him.
I have stated that I want the A to end and the marriage restored.
Not empowering enough....I know.
I am still waiting for this to all go away. It only keeps getting worse.

T/J

In an effort to spend time here I just burned my dinner for DH, given how bad a cook I am, I sure it will taste only marginally worse than if was not burnt.

LOL

Good thing one of my DH's EN's was not good Food.

End T/J

Ok back to discussion.

For now, you need to say it out loud TO YOURSELF !

I'm not convinced you mean it. (yet)

I wanna hear some fire behind those words!


If you think THIS is bad, you are no way ready for recovery .... RECOVERY is harder than this.

Toughen up sistah, you're going to need those muscles in recovery. (hopefully)

Nope for now you just need to say it to yourself.

I am not sure thats a requirement you are willing to pay the price for.

Back to this bullchit. mad

If it HURT him to hurt you, he's stop.

His adultery feels good. And he does not want to stop because it feels good.
He's trying to look like a good guy, all the while breaking your heart ....

This ~~~>"It hurts me" is disingenuous and phony and a big fat LIE
