7) Is the conversation worthwhile – will it add to your stress or reduce it?
Sunny – we cannot control or change someone. We can only control and change ourselves. Life is short buddy….try and spend it happy. God Bless, Eric


Didn't mean to ignore you eric but in my church your spouse has to cheat or leave - I can't do it so I had to sit and wait now that she has had an affair I can part.

i also established boundaries - I told her that if she wants to date and have sex she has to leave the house. And I told her her family can not stay in the house for the cousins wedding

Keep to your boundaries and do not waiver. If you do, she will know that you are bluffing.

Hang in there!

Sunny,
I know you are spinning from what she's said and done, but you need to put your foot on the floor and stop spinning. She's baiting you so that you'll do or say something that she can use against you. She's hoping you'll get so angry and leave...don't do it.

If she's staying in the house, there's nothing you can do, but ensure that you and your son are okay. There's nothing you can do about her being there. However, you do not need to be footing her spending sprees, etc.

Contact your lawyer asap and see what your options are and do not discuss them with her.

You don't have any control over your wife and if she wants to go out, she's going to do it. Step back and cease trying to tell her what to do because it's only going to make things worse. You only have control over you and your son.

Let her go, but document everything because you may need that documentation down the road.

However, I would not back down about the inlaws...they should still stay in a hotel.

If you need to go out, get a babysitter and do not rely on her.

Make a list of the questions you need answers to for Friday. Well, if she thinks she's in love w/the man, there's nothing you can do but let her go and sit on the curb w/a bag of popcorn and watch the parade go by. I'm so sorry that things are going badly for you. On another note, if they get enough of each other, the affair may just die a natural death for them.

Hang in there. I know it's scary and you are disgusted, but take it one day at a time.
