Confronting the Other Person: Waste of Time

…continuing research and study of “Should I Confront the Other Person.

I asked the following questions of my readers:

1. What was your purpose for confronting the OP and what did you say/do?

I wanted her to know she is not the only person my husband had been with.

2. What happened? What was the outcome?

Husband defended her, became angry with me. He told her I lied and that she was the only one he had been with. He married her.

3. If you were to do it again, would you do it differently? What did you learn?

I’d tell them both that they were two irresponsible adults being led by their genitals, and effecting the lives of our children and myself. Of couse, no matter what I’d say, would make no difference…..knowing what I know now, I’d be better off watching a good movie, going to the gym or having fun with friends.

Coach’s comments:

Sometimes the patterns of infidelity and personal dysfunction are so well entrenched, so undeniable strong that you might as well throw in the towel… or read a good book.

I wish I knew more…the kind of affair she was facing. Serial infidelity – probably “I Don’t Want to Say No.” Although he married her, maybe “My Marriage Made Me Do It.” The anger would fit that one more accurately.
