ORIGINAL: mp072004 It's very nice that you and your wife have discussed it clearly--that is, that she has outlined your choices, and described her likely reactions. If your wife generally means what she says, and if she had this conversation with you in a measured, calm, rational manner, then I wouldn't bank much on changing her mind. That said, it's still a difficult choice. You should use whatever analytical tools help you decide most effectively. Making lists of reasons for and against generally helps me. Consider practical reasons as well as emotional ones. You should also be aware that while your wife will not remain married to you if you continue your relationship with your mistress, you can also end your marriage to your wife and end your relationship with your mistress--or, your mistress could end her relationship with you, possibly for independent reasons. You shouldn't choose hastily, but it won't help anyone to linger too long. Then, when you make your choice, clearly communicate it and stick to it. Good luck to you. I couldn't agree more with this post.
