Walk away wife is living in relationship with a co worker. I have our three kids. I want to say i love you without saying it. I would like some good ideas on showing her that I love her and that I care for her. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0[/img]

Take good care of those kids. Do not use them as pawns or say bad things about their mother. Make sure she has easy access to the children (assuming that is safe for them).<p>Provide assistance to your wife in matters that do not directly encourage her current living situation. I'm thinking of making sure her automobile is safe - good tires/brakes, etc.<p>Speak kindly of your wife and your desire to repair your relationship to others. Let her hear from 'unbiased' sources of your feelings. She will be more willing to hear it that way and it will carry more weight than your pleadings.<p>Take care of yourself - be someone worthy of her love. Not whiny, pleading, needy but strong and assured.<p>Hope this helps...

Have you read any of Lostva's old posts? She continued a strong Plan A while her WH was living with OW. She would send weekly letters. Look her up - I think she had some great advise and ideas.
