I would suggest that you snail mail her a card and don't call her, let her call you. Pick a "Thinking of you card" and just write that you love her, and you wanted her to know that. Keep it really short. Let her come to you.
She's hurting too. Let her heal. She'll come to you when she is ready. That's exactly what I did today. It goes in the mail tomorrow. So, since the Wife won't communicate in any way.....and is still MAJORLY MAD ABOUT THE FULL EXPOSURE....am I technically in Plan B? What do I do besides leave her alone?!?!?

Just hold still and be available to her for as long as you're in Plan A.
Of course she's PO'd about exposure - no wayward wants to be exposed!
But she's also looking for a way home. Stay steady, Bill.

Be Still for now Bill, there is nothing you can convince her of right now, the fog has to lift first, she knows how you feel..........
She needs to come to terms with what she has chosen for her life and you can't help her with that............
She needs to know you have forgiveness and hope for the two of you..........
Let her process and no love busting..........

Stay the course, I think these guys know what they are talking about or i wouldnt be here either It doesn't take long to become a vet. It is the ones that refuse to follow MB strategies, or only pick and chose the things they want to do that are not ready to advise.

It's one day at a time......and THIS DAY is a long day.....a hard day.
I can do this!!!
I CAN do this!!!! You can! there was a time I was sure I would die of a heart attack because of this, and afterwards that my body was permanently screwed up. Took about a year and a half for my body to get back to normal. I didn't do meds though. Hang in there, you are on a downward hill... the coaster does slow and eventually stop.

Hi Bill glad you're doing better than the other day. I take the meds to work just in case.....I only take half at a time when i need it. My meds kind of space me out if i take a whole pill.
Keep on the road. And go out and do something for yourself today.

I have a Wonderful Friend here in town.....He and his Wife have saved my life when I've been dog-paddling for my every breath during the last few months. We have a running pseudo-joke about "Take the High Road". Turns out......it's NOT a joke......the High Road is the most difficult path. It's easy to throw in the towel.......to fold......to run......to give up. I'm not going to do that......and the sooner my Wife understands that......THE BETTER!!!
