Are you accounting for all your time, do you still go out without her, spend any nights apart?

How far away does the OW live,? You met her in alcohol treatment?

( all of your posts are light on details and skip half the questions asked. No one expects a novel, but this is frustrating to drag every little bit of info out of you. )

Is your wife willing to come and post here? We could provide a lot of help and support to her.

This is why apples referred to you wanting the easy fix, which you adamantly denied.

We got dumped on with snow too over the last weekend. I still managed a long date with my husband and checking into some threads on here for support.

If you are serious about saving your marriage, there are no excuses for not doing everything that is suggested to you.

I see you blocked all communication with OW, but you should change all your contact information to show you are serious.

Did you try on a computer or from your phone?

I asked her on Monday night if that when the holidays are over and I line someone up to watch the boys if she'd like to go out and catch a comedy show or go do something fun we both have never done? She's like "together"??? I said yes, together.. just fun, no relationship talk.. she didn't say no.. but she didn't say yes..

That link was posted 8 days ago. "Just compensation" is a way to show your wife that you are serious and not just BSing. Asking her to go out and have fun when you aren't showing any effort to provide just compensation is just proving to her that you are NOT serious. Can you try Dr. Harley's method? I'll bet she's either terrified or angry at your suggestion to go out and have fun, you have can't "nice" your way out of this. You're also showing us that you are not serious about change. 8 days, sir, 8 days

I'm spending the wknd at our house due to the weather, our dog having surgery and she needed at break.. she made it clear to me that she didn't want me getting mixed signals cause she's letting me spend the wknd here.. I told her to not worry that I am just grateful to be able to be here...
