Hi NSR,<P>Thanks for the response. I posted previously on General Questions forum under the question about internet relationships. We have 2 young children, ages 9, my son and a daughter( very handicapped) age 12 but developmental age 6-8 months. My H has been in an internet relationship for some time now that has escalated to a deep emotional attachment and withdrawal from me. I have been doing Plan A since middle of February. He refuses to give her up and has actually met with her once since I asked him to give her up Feb. 11 and came home from that meeting smelling of her perfume. Says he only hugged her, but it was a lot of perfume. Can I assume that this has moved to a physical affair at this poin? I also found communication where they had planned another meeting, but it got cancelled. He said in that chat that he had so wanted to hold her in his arms that day. I have read Love Busters, Surviving an Affair, His Needs, Her Needs and have tried to meet his needs, which he did list for me, but seemingly without much success. Very little response from him except for anger and resentment and that is taking a heavy toll on my love bank. We rarely talk except about work and trivial matters and if we try to talk about our relationship it nearly always ends up in an argument with him blaming me for and accusing me of not meeting needs and being the reason for the EA. Says I pushed him into it. The anger is so bad that I am afraid he may take it out on me physically, although he has never hit me, he has recently taken the anger out on me sexually. Got to go.....more later. If you need more info, let me know. I really appreciate all your help with this. You're a super guy and I'm really sorry for your situation. YOu've been a trememdous support. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<BR>

It very hard to Plan A... if your the one pushing him out.<P>If it's possible... check with Steve or Jenn Harley if it's time for Plan B. They are best a evaluating difficult transition stages.<P>If however; the sexual behavior is becoming dangerous...<BR>...then you need to consult with a lawyer very quickly.<P>If you need to <B>protect</B> yourself legally (and/or financially)... I usually make the recommendation of finding a <B>good</B> attorney. A good place to start off is at the <A HREF="http://lawyers.martindale.com/marhub/form/by.html" TARGET=_blank>Martindale-Hubbell Lawyer Search</A> site. Do a search within your county... look for only "family law" specialists(>80% in divorce/custody/etc.)... make sure they do a lot of "family law committee work"... if they know the judges all the better... You can normally find a few that will give initial counseling free of charge.<BR><A HREF="http://www.uslaw.com" TARGET=_blank>USLaw.com</A> (an alternative search site)<P> [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Jim
