Well my 20th anniversary has come and gone. I did what I thought was right in expressing my thanks to her for our kids and all she has done over the last 20 years. She did not even recognize it however I didn't expect her to. It still hurts but I need to focus all my energy on my daughter, my work and my GAL. I also need to really stick to my 180. I feel as if I slipped some over the last few days.
I now realize I can not do anything about my W. I can only work on me.

Had a decent weekend. I am re-working our yard as one of my GAL's and just finished putting landscape lights. W was mostly pleasant this weekend. She did disappear for 3 hours on Sat. I didn't inquire but when she came home she said she was at Lowe's shopping. On Sunday she said she had to let the dogs out for the person she I think she is having an EA with. She was gone for about 3 hours and I never said a word. W was a little more communicative this weekend.

Positives

1. Initiated some conversations
2. Said honey to me one time
3. Asked if I needed anything from store
4. Was upset I went to a friends house to have a drink with the boys
5. Cooked supper on Sunday night (She never cooks on Sunday)
6. Told me when she was going to EA house

My H goes to Home Depot a lot. And they are apparently out of whatever he was looking for.

All we can do is GAL and make a commitment to doing a 180.

What do you do when you confirm that your W is havering an A? Do you confront it and bring it out into the open?

My SIL (H's sister) says she is going to buy him a t-shirt for Christmas with the caption of, "Home Depot: where you go to finish projects that never should have been started"

And just bumping this up because I hijacked a bit. Didn't want the question to get lost......

I am confused on whether to let it ride or continue 180's and my GAL's. It appears that the A is becoming more frequent.

What kind of confirmation do you have? What do you actually know?

What do you hope to accomplish?

Read the infidelity chapters and LRT and "After the LRT" in Divorce Remedy. Then get back to us.

Don't go into "Flame on" mode like I did, I would recommend.
