Can you change and begin to meet her needs? Have you told her that you want a loving and caring marriage with her. You should be in PLAN A where you show her that you can change.

Have you read Dr Harley's ten basic concepts? That is your map for a strong and loving marriage.

Basic Concepts

It takes commitment and NC for LIFE with OM.

I gave her a decision, its either me or the job.. she spoke to her mom, and somehow it got turned on me, What happened was that she lacked intimacy and it led to what happened, but she said she should of not done it and its remorseful, but said im immature for making her quit cause we do not work it out she is out of a job, I seem to be blamed for what has happened and I do not think i could handle it. I think a divorce will be hard, but probably easier then what I feeling now,


Your marriage wont ever be SAFE until she or the co-worker leaves the job. MIL needs to stay out of it!!! This is you and your wife right now and no one else!
