That doesnt compute.

JKS youre back sliding now. You're letting your feelings and emotions interfere with your goal.



Will you elaborate more on this?? Mostly your first sentence...

What I was pointing out was he left you to start another R with OW when your R together wasn't fully over.

I understand you want to have the family back together. This process is a long slow one.
You're approaching a year now. Did you ever think you would make it this far?

Patience. You have a great chance to turn this around.

JKS,

My 2 cents is that it doesn't matter why the WAS comes back -- as long as they agree to "no contact" with OW and give you full visibility.

Pretend he comes back because someone bet him $10 that he wouldn't -- that's a crappy reason right? From my perspective, who cares? You now have a starting line and an opportunity. If you can be a spouse that only a fool would leave, keep up your 180's and meet each others needs, then in 12 months WHY the WAS came back won't matter at all -- you'll have the marriage you want and that's what matters.

Good point Ray ^^^^. I had thought that I would only consider allowing my w back if she decided on her own that she wanted to move forward with me in a better m, showed remorse,etc.. but it doesn't matter why they come back imo because as u said its what u do w/ the opportunity if they come back.

I disagree. If the REAL reason for their return is not one of sincerity, then the R won't develop.

She he comes back b/c it is financially easier to have a "room mate". He's there for the wrong reason.

From experience, only when the WAS truly commits to the R does it work.
IMO.

How can they truly commit right out of the gate? JKS says her husband was in pain in the M for 5 years -- it would be irrational to 100% commit without seeing promise that the new M can be better than the old one. That commitment needs to be earned it can't just be expected as a requirement to get started

the issue is not whether they commit at some point but WHY they commit. Accuray's point, with which I agree

is that it does NOT MATTER WHY - IF THEY DO THE WORK...

I admit a big part of why I wanted my marriage to work was for my kids, and financial fears too...

NOT just ME being married to h...per se...and I ASSUME my h felt partly the same...

so what? We did the work.
