Use THIS TIME building a solid marriage

Waste none of your energy AT THIS TIME with OC/OW concerns. For now, anything having to do with OW needs/desires/complaints/feelings are NONE of your business. Ignore her completely.

Why?

Because paying attention to her is detremental to your marriage recovery.

I usually post on general Questions forum, and sometimes on Recovery forum ... and until OC is born I suggest you look into those forums as well as this one.

Why?

Because you have Marriage Builders Work to do.

My husband has a child that resulted from an affair he was having. My challenge is that he will not respect guidelines such as setting up drop and pick up @ the child's daycare, calling the ex, etc. She is a very volatile lady and I wonder if his refusal to set guidelines means that they are still having an affair. Confused for the past few years.

May the love hidden deep inside your heart find the love waiting in your dreams. May the laughter that you find in your tomorrow wipe away the pain you find in your yesterdays.

It's good to have a refresher of what might have saved my sanity at one time in my life when I needed it.

Thank-you MB.

May God bless America. BW. d-day 01-1996. In recovery ever since. 2 OC's. I met OW and 2OC's in 1996. No contact since. H's choice. Our grown children know of 2OC's and has met one of them. No interest. I love my H again. MB is great. ember
