H revealed his affair a few weeks age. He's reluctant to break it off, yet doesn't want our marriage to end. (She is also married and lives out of state) She said "Goodbye" to him last week and since he's been withdrawn and depressed. It's painful to witness yet, I'm trying to be supportive of him and us. <BR>He's leaving for a week long trip to another state. I don't think he will be seeing her, but I am worried about his depression. Perhaps this might be good soul searching time for us, or am I making things too easy for him. I keep reaching out to one who's not there, now physically as well.
