My H and I have been married for 2 years on the 15th. We have a 10 month old daughter and I am unexpeditaly pregnant agian, due in June. I cam home X-Mas eve and found him with another woman. No sexual activities, but there was an affiar. It had been going on sexually since the first of the month of Dec. I had gut feelings but he denied. Well within a week I packed up and moved back to my mothers in VA, he is in MO. <P>This came as a total shock, i NEVER thought in a million years he would do this. He would even downgrade people who did. But he did. At first I was screaming divorce, but now I don't want to. I want at most a legl seperation. But I see this affair as a wake up call. i really messed up in the marriage. I NEVER meet his needs. People tell me that it isn't your fault. But it is. He tried opening up and talking ot me,a nd I always shoot him down. I am a very dominant and independent woman. I am not beating myself up over it, I am using this affiar as my advantage, and saying ok, I messed up, let fix it. He was in the wrong for many things himself, and there was a lot of things we both were in the wrong for, but these things are fixble. But he isn't wanting to work thing out. I know my husband and I aknow that he will regret this one day. My husband and I are meant for each other, and we have a special bond that no one else can share. But I feel he is clowded by OW. He doesn't want to work things out, but I know it is his emotions right now. I am now 5 states away and I can't see him to talk to him in person. What to do? Should I let him go and say it is over, should I continue to work things out, or should I step back and let him go and live his life and then be there when he is ready?
