I don't imagine, he'd post here, if he wasn't grappling with a semblance of guilt, strife, remorse.

He did seem to not paint himself, on a pedestal, from my vantage point. I've seen how emotional affairs alone can destroy a marriage, not from his or the third parties angle, either, I might add.

At the same time, his story isn't mine, nor mine the story from his wifes side.

There's been stated numerous attempts to reconcile, even from my impression, stepping away from his confidante/lover and trying to fix what's dysfunctional. He's not professing to be a saint, yet his wife doesn't sound like one either. Exploding over wanting to take a walk, but not asking, just flying off the handle...the description of the event, summarized well. It doesn't sound like she's going the extra mile. Could be a case of, it's him, not me with her...everyone else, but me, nothing wrong with me, i don't have to curb my temper type....i could be wrong, but they exist in this life we all live.

I just don't see him as all or nothing with this thread. Must be frustrating, to want to keep trying over and over and over again, to avoid societal pressures? When does she meet him halfway and make it stick? Sounds like the other woman would step back, sounds like she would, to me...
