tsg, we are trying to help her by helping you.

There are reasons we ask the things that we do in the way that we do them. There are things we wish to learn from YOU about what you are thinking.

Why do you believe that if she were to move out that would be the end of your marriage? Did you ever bring OW to that home? Do you see how that would harm her? That would happen over and over again.

Unless you are safe for her(I do mean emotionally safe, if you were physically harmful I would advise her to seek immediate help to stay away from you), we are going to help her in every way we can. Most of the people posting to you and to your wife are and were betrayed wives. We would be the best people to understand what she is going through and how to best help her get where she needs to be.

I understand that you are not a quick typist, we are all showing you respect in that and patience. We still need to help you this way, as we have no other. Take the time, read the posts. If something about them makes you angry, look inside YOURSELF to figure out why.

Keep reading here, it will help you.

no one in here knows everything that happen

Even without being there, I'll bet 95% of us could give you a transcript of just about everything that has gone on. I wish I could say it's because we're just that good. Really, it's because adultery, and people who commit adultery, are just so predictable.

Even you.

It's how we can help you, even though we don't know you from Adam.

Stick around, kid. You've got lots to learn, but you've come to the right place to learn it. We can help you work to save your marriage, but at the end of the day it all comes down to....

you.

You talk about how strong she is, but you treat her like you can break her down if you just keep wearing at it. That's why she needs a separate house so that you can see that she's losing love for you like a person bleeds when an artery is severed.

You're nearly out of time. Not out of time before she moves out. Out of time before she gets fed up and files for divorce.

Biting at Pep or anyone else here trying to help you get on track to do the right things will get you well-deserved silence from the rest of us.

Ok... one more time:

Can you write out your list of extra-ordinary precautions here so we have an idea of what you are doing in this regard to make her feel safe?

Just an fyi... Name calling and such on the list isn't very nice and really shows your heart. Please refrain from it (name calling). Everyone here is wanting to help you, none of us are paid for it, and we have your best interest at heart.

TSG, Please explain to us *how* you are safe for her in every way? How does she know she is safe?

What did you lie about?

I'm sorry, to me this is still wayward fog-babble. This smacks of promises without actions.

Can you list out your extra-ordinary precautions?

tsg, Neak's a sharp cookie and is one of our best posters. You're lucky she's good-humored and saw your post for what is was. She could have just signed off on your thread, and then you would have one less seasoned poster ready to help you.

You'll do well to apologize for your immature comment to her. Then shut up and listen. You've got a ways to go, friend.

Good morning, Mr. 2sweet.

What are your plans for today, toward recovering your marriage? What are you actually going to do?

Talk is worth less than the paper it isn't printed on. Actions are where you need to focus your attention.

Although I didn't see the post before it was edited, I am quite certain it was directed at ME. Just shows the "safety" that 2Sweet is dealing with. Talk is cheap.

tsg,

This is your choice to make, and you will have to live with the result.

i hate to harp, and this is the last time i will- some serious vets are here to help you and they are trying but you are not say or doing anything, but babble.

can you answer ANY or the questions below, you have not answered one yet, how is anyone going to help you save your marriage?


When did you begin your PA with you Exw?

When did you begin you EA with you Exw?

Have you had any other A with anyone?

Did you write a NC letter yet?

What did you say on your NC phone call exactly?

Can you write out your list of extra-ordinary precautions here
so we have an idea of what you are doing in this regard to make her feel safe?

What are you doing to ensure that you never have contact with POSOW again...besides writing the NC letter?

Why do you believe that if she were to move out that would be the end of your marriage?

Did you ever bring OW to that home?

Do you see how that would harm her?

Please explain to us *how* you are safe for her in every way?

How does she know she is safe?

What did you lie about?

What are your plans for today, toward recovering your marriage?

What are you actually going to do?

are you willing to do WHATEVER it takes? or not?
