Hi. My husband and I separated in Feb 2010 due to him having an affair with an old girlfriend he "reconnected" with on Facebook. After we separated , their relationship continued and she became pregnant. Their relationship ended in May/June 2010 and in August 2010 my husband  and I started working on restoring our marriage. However, the child was born a few weeks ago and she has been using this child to undermind and damage our marital progress in any way she can and my husband is falling for it. I have asked him to fully commit to restoring our marriage by putting his ring back on, going to counseling, going to church, etc. but he keeps saying he's not ready and I am running out of patience. I want a marriage that honors God and feel like if I stay with him right now I will be settling for less than that. I am posting this for advice and for prayers. Thanks!

Hi, Ladyinblue!  If the relationship with this woman has already turned sour once, it probably won't be long and it will do the same thing again.  In the meantime, my advice to you is to just stop begging/asking him for anything.  It's a hard thing to do, but the only thing that has helped my relationship with my husband.  He is probably feeling a huge amount of pressure from the other woman, so you want to make yourself more attractive than her.  How?  Give him space.  Act as if you are going on with your life---start doing things for yourself.  Be attractive at all times when he is around--physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.  Show him that you care, but don't go overboard.  He will notice.  He may not say anything, but he will notice.  Don't be a doormat, but don't pressure him either.  That's my advice.  Not sure if it helps.  You may have to put some boundaries in place with him, too.
