With all due respect, you have dragged this out for 6 months now so you have had plenty of time to find a job. That is an unbelievably long time to ask someone to go through hell. You said earlier you were looking for "a better job." You don't have the luxury to be selective when your marriage is on the rocks.

I am also concerned that you seem to be ignoring the issue of the exposure to the OM's wife. You have a moral obligation to ensure that she is informed of your actions with her husband. You can't claim to be the slightest bit remorseful when your other victim doesn't even know what you have done.

Hope is not a plan. Hope will fail.

It is all about your ACTIONS and continuing to go to work everyday where you can have contact with OM is just digging the hole deeper. Not to mention the fact that OM has not been exposed or held accountable in any way. It is just business as usual for OM who is free to continue to pursue you and assault your marriage without anyone being the wiser.

To a betrayed spouse it feels like being spit in the face with no hope because you cannot find a better job.

Maintaining the status quo will not save your marriage and may very likely be the death of it.

You have only been married three years and have no children. How long would YOU endure watching your WS go off to work with their affair partner everyday?
