Okay, I got a good one for you. Today, I approached my H about our marriage. (H is still live OW) Up until now, we both have been running away what is going on. Praying it will go away. He states that he is not ready to talk. When, I looked into his eyes and saw the guilt, I just wanted to hold him and tell him everything will be all right. Then, I thought "I am treating him like a child with a boo-boo." I realize that according to my feelings I have 3 children, not 2. Under Plan A, how do I become a wife instead of a mother to him? I am really not sure I know how to be a wife. What would a wife do about her H having an A with OW and living with OW? What would a wife do to make her husband talk with her? Boy, am I confused about myself now.

SCHURT: I think it hurts that much more when the WS is your only love doesnt it? Anyway, sorry I dont have too much advice. Maybe you could ask the poster in this story. Read Carol's story maybe if its very similar you can take heart or learn from it?<p>http://www.marriagebuilders.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=37&t=014880

SCHURT,<p>Read Proverb 31:10-31, A noble wife characters.<p>He would not talk until he is ready and don't push H. However you could string H though ... check CarolKH's post that hangingIn refers too.

Thanks HangingIn and Redhat. I missed Carol post. It was very enlightening. There is hope for all of us.
