Her husband works very closely with his coworker that he’s falling for, so there’s also not an opportunity for her husband to refuse to see this woman in the office.
“I feel powerless. I know he can’t just shut off his feelings for her; I know he has to see her every day,” she said.
“It kills me that I can’t even be angry with him because I love him so much, and I can see how much he’s hurting. I know she leans on him about her own guilt about this situation. He tells me I shouldn’t be mad with her, but I can’t help but wonder why she can’t just leave him alone.”
Her son is young, yet he’s even picking up on things being strained at home. She’s trying her best to fix her marriage and forge a stronger connection with her husband, which is working, but she’s curious about when she should put her foot down.
Her husband’s coworker isn’t going anywhere, and she’s terrified that her husband may leave her for this other woman.
“I’m just feeling so torn and hollow,” she continued. “I’m trying to hold our marriage together, to support the man I love who is so obviously broken over this.”
“If we get through this, I feel like we will come out stronger, but I don’t know how long I can hold it together. I can’t just make him stop caring about her overnight, but how long can I keep this up?”
“Do I eventually give him some kind of ultimatum? What does that even look like? It’s starting to feel more and more like a fool the longer this goes on.”
