We separated four months ago at discovery because he was certain he wanted to keep her in his life but not certain he wanted our marriage. He wasn't certain he wanted out of the marriage though, so although he maintained his relationship with his affair partner, we did some marriage counseling, then the Affair Recovery Bootcamp, now finally EMS Online. He reluctantly agreed to cut contact for 90 days during EMS Online, but I discovered he hadn't. I asked on multiple occasions if he had broken the contract or had any contact and each time he denied it. Finally I let him know I knew he was lying to me. He says he's tried to contact her less frequently but it's difficult because he feels hopeless and she's the only thing that makes him feel better. She's the only place in his life he doesn't feel like a failure. He doesn't want to be "cruel" to her and cut her off. For my part, I'm tired of not being chosen. I'm tired of him not caring how cruel he is to me. I want to continue EMS Online as long as he's willing, just to see what happens, but I'm not sure how to interact with him. The course encourages being completely open and willing to have fun with one another and being vulnerable, which makes sense for a couple reconciling... But my husband isn't sure yet if he wants to reconcile and he hasn't been able to say that my feelings or our marriage are more important to him than hers or his relationship with her ... I feel like I should guard my heart and only talk to him about the class and business items and otherwise let him initiate anything else. Do you agree? Do you have any other advice for walking this delicate line? Our marriage may be over at the end of EMS Online if nothing changes.Sections: Rick's Q & A timeRick's QuestionsRL_Category: For The Hurt SpouseQ&A Recovery LibraryRecovery FundamentalsSafety in RecoveryRL_Media Type: Video
