Is there a question in there for us to help you with? It sounds to me like you're just trying to get a message through to her using unapproved channels.

If there is something you're willing to utilize our help with, please ask. We will do all we can to help you recover, and to be the best husband and father you can be. That's what we want for anyone who comes here - to heal and to reach their full potential.

So, on top of your adultery with you ex-wife, you have decided that your best course of action is to tear her children away from her?

I don't see how this is going to help you save your marriage, or are you here for a different purpose now? If you are here to screw over your Betrayed wife, I will not be able to help you with that. If my WH tried to win me back by taking my children away from me, it would have the complete opposite effect.

Have you been working on yourself?

Have you had contact with your ex-wife lately?

Let's not rewrite history. You're the one who didn't do the work.

Good. That's exactly what Dr. Harley advises a wife to do when her wayward husband won't fix things.

Quote
she toke the kids want let me see are talk to them well guess that life huh

Yeah, I guess so.

huh

Quote
oh well kids will grow up

Oh well.

Quote
and hope they don't hate her for it oh well

Oh well.

Quote
hope she happy

She will be only if you leave her alone or perform a cranial rectal extraction, I'm sure.

Stop attempting to reinjure the victim for your own selfish gain.

Quote
tell her call sometime

That would be against Dr. Harley's advice, though, wouldn't it? Wouldn't that be the WRONG thing for her to do if she wants to recover the marriage?

Wouldn't that lead to her being unhappy?

Quote
maybe we could meet for lunch well all yall take care and tell her take care and if you would tell her if she every want to try and work it out give me a call love you

If you ever want to try and work it out, start working.

Hey, did you do this stuff, or is posting here a complete waste of time?

That's a good thing, as long as those awful guilt and shame feelings lead you to something better. You're messed up right now, but you don't have to stay that way.

A few things for starters:

1. You have other serious issues besides adultery. Get help and accountability for those in an appropriate setting. All we can do is cheer you on - it's outside our scope of practice.
2. Turn to God. He is the very best One to change you, and make you into a whole new man. He said, "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." Looking out my window, that fresh snow is pretty white. You can be clean and holy. If you want to know more, many of us here are Christians and can answer any questions you may have.
3. Continue the plan 2sweet laid out for healing from the adultery. You made a good start with NC, putting in EP's, and sending the letter. Continue to learn and grow in this area. This is so important for the man you will be, and the example you will set for your children.
4. Don't give up on yourself. You can change. Believe that.
5. Do all this with no expectations, and without trying to be close to 2sweet. Do it for yourself, and for your children. Do it because it's the right thing to do, and you are a person who has chosen to do what is right.

That will do for starters. smile

So admit the truth: "I don't care enough about 2sweet to do what it takes."

Why should she talk to you if you are still in your affair and you haven't done ANYTHING to change and recover your marriage?
Dr. Harley would tell her to continue with what she's doing.

Can you even tell us ONE thing you've done to clean up your side of the street?

Thank you, Sam.

I'm going to bookmark this thread. When I inevitably get once again frustrated with certain facets of this peer-counseling vocation (ministry?), I'll have this to re-read, and realize that there may yet be an indecisive BW who will need my special...skills...(in addition to Neak's, Markos's, ML's, etc), as 2sweet did in January 2012.

More waywardness -- playing the victim card and demonizing your BW for not being able to see your kids.

Those of us who have been thru the D process know that this simply isn't true. You have legal rights to see your kids unless the courts thought there was a reason you shouldn't.

The same old Sam is back. A long break in posting, but no letup of the adultery fog. Whether the A is on or off, you my friend are wayward in the deepest levels of your heart. It's your choice whether you stay that way.

Quote
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

That is sad that you are trying to use this forum to break plan B. I suggest you refer to the earlier posts on your thread for some awesome advice.
