…it’s been a long, exhausting, emotional…but extremely productive week. I had many emotional ups and downs and I know I will continue to have them. But I have amazing friends and family which my STBXW does not…and they have been incredible.

The “high” my wife was on with her affair has seemed to dim. She has talked about possible wanting to work it out. But I am actually relieved. I’ve been stuck in a shitty, affection-less marriage for too long. I really do not want to be with her anymore. I’m still hurt and feel betrayed but I feel really hopeful.

We have two daughters 7 and 5 and my heart breaks for them both, but this is the way it has to be.
