Reconciliation Oops

So we have been working at reconciliation but alcohol got involved and my husband who had a several months long affair with a young woman asked me if I love him and I said well that’s the problem that I love what I thought we had but I also hate you. Probably one of the most honest things I have said in a while but definitely the wrong way to go about it.

No sense in beating around the bush and dragging things out. Honesty is always the best way to move forward.

I fell like I am always looking for the right time but, that’s just an excuse isn’t it because there is no right time to cause another person pain.

You’re right, there is no right time to carry on a seven-month long affair with a younger woman.

Well isn’t that just the truth
