The best way to try to process the behavior of someone in an affair is to think of them as a drug addict and the affair is their drug. |
My H is well aware of how much I can't tolerate people who refuse to own once they are caught. Not sure now if this is to my advantage or not now. Your post is interesting in that it shows how calculating an addict/cheater can be. I am so naive but I always believed I was sharp and nobody's fool. Thank you for your honesty. My feeling is that my H has no intention of splitting with me - simply wanting to have his cake and eat it I believe.
what is CYA pl ???
