Second marriage leads back to first husband
-- Pushed Too Far
Dear Pushed: Your perspective is that your husband's neglect has forced you into an extramarital affair.
It must feel good to feel like yourself again and to be cheating on your husband, and yet experience no guilt.
You want your husband to take responsibility for his actions, and yet you also want him to take responsibility for yours.
Adults should own their own behavior, acknowledging and accepting the consequences.
You are engaging in this affair in order to force your own life toward change. You seem to have no commitment to staying in your marriage, and so you should be honest with yourself and your husband, and leave it.
Beware, however -- remarrying a previous spouse doesn't guarantee a happy ending, unless both parties have changed in substantial ways.

My mother is now interested in downsizing from her home, and wants to buy my condo. She also wants a $20,000 discount from what the condo is appraised for, saying she can't afford more (trust me, she can).
