Dan--you should not be in counseling thinking "If this doesn't work..." In that mode, you have already accepted the possiblity/inevitability that your relationship is irrepairably harmed. I think one would benefit from going into therapy thinking "We are in therapy because we want to work through this rough time in our realtionship." While the differences in those two mindsersa may seem small--they are, in fact, huge. One presumes sucess, the other failure. If you dont WANT it to work 100%, then therapy is just a waste of time--unless you are going to therapy to figure out how not to hate each other forewver as you go your separate ways (and I don't think that is your purpose).
Why even be mad at him? The issues don't lie with him, but rather you and your wife.
Revenge doesn't make you feel better and only serves to lower you to the level of the one upon whom you want retribution.

I am looking at theropy as a way through the rough spots, and I know we will overcome, however, keep in mind, that I DO NOT have a halo over my head,
I am a man, and I cannot control all of my emotions.
It is OK for me to be angry, at HER and at HIM. it is natural and it is healthy.
It would be no challenge physically to beat this pathetic peace of shit to death,
I am a 200lb former pro kickboxer, this guy is a 150lb piece of shit.
I would never do that though... It would make me feel "small" I dont get in physical confronts with people for it is out of my ethics. and I dont want to accidently kill the guy. cause jail isn't much fun, I have been there.
I just got a new job today, and Im moving to a new house.
my life is going well..
if he chooses to put ripples in my water, that is his decision.
if he chooses to confront me, that will be the last mistake he ever makes.
but I am going to sit back, and let this play through.
