OW - YOU want more for yourself than a weak, conflict avoidant, user who promises you everything and delivers you nothing.

@BaileyB your responses are always on point -I’m going to screen shot this one as a reminder for myself ;)

DKT3, 6 months... ETA, it's been sexless and over for close to 10 years, though... Married for 20.... Been faithful the entire time even though I wasn't in love (up until the affair last year).  

Also, I will say that finding this forum is what really opened my eyes.  It's crazy how these things all seem to be the same.  

 

 

Your choice though. Why was that?

Affairs are addicting if you get the addict around the source you get relapse. I predict it will continue. Sorry but I think you’re fooling yourself.

We all tend to think our situations are complicated, special.

Your situation is nothing special. They are pretty much all the same. Dime a dozen. You can look at many and it’s the same old story. Very typical except it involves you.

@Marc878 I agree -a relapse would be highly likely . You’re right we all feel our situation is unique, different -again we’re deluding ourselves .

IMO this will continue until his wife or your husband finds out. 
 

It’s easy to get into these situations. Hard to get out of.

Hey guys! I'm the original poster.  I've been on such a roller coaster with MM, I didn't even realize I'd posted nearly the same thing back in November.  My apologies, mods!!! Thank y'all for combining my hot-mess into one thread 😂

Basically, I've got to end it but maintain a friendship/working relationship.  I've failed twice so far.  

This is so toxic.  Bit by bit I'm gathering more and more strength.  I've never told a soul but finally confided in a trusted friend lady night.  She was amazing.  

I wish like crazy there was a way to go NC.  I guess I'll keep y'all updated which will hopefully keep me accountable.  I'm trying to focus on all the lows this relationship brings rather than getting drunk on the highs 👊
