Just wanted to share something kind of interesting. A woman I know happened to mention today that she had been divorced from her husband for two years and they ended up remarrying. I don't know how long the first marriage was but they are currently on year four. She even said her neighbor did the exact same thing (divorced for awhile and later remarried!).
She said sometimes they'll joke and she'll say things like, "I think I'll keep you." and "Well you had your chance to get rid of me." (All in a good natured manner).
There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
Awwwwwww, Thanks for sharing that story. It is thought provoking. I have heard that 12% of divorces end up remarrying. The couple I sold my last home to was interesting in that way. They are not married, although he refers to her as his wife. They had been married, and I believe the kids are theirs, together. Want to know on the door and ask them! Cheers Holly
Bomb 1/06 D dismissed 11/07, attempt reconciliation. Premature. Divorce final October 31, 2008. OW looks like bad history. Over. Still hopeful. Baby steps. In R with my X.
I have two couple friends that were divorced and been remarried to each other for two years. Both say their marriage is better than it ever was.
Since my divorce goes to trial in a little over a month, I hope that is a good omen. Because a divorce is not going to change how I feel about my H.
Holly, check out my thread if you have time.
Everything happens for a reason, maybe Dad needs to find that it isn't better out there, he needs to realize how good he had it here. Maybe he will find God and that is the most important thing when he finds Him he will know he is supposed to come home.
this is good stuff to know. I am getting closer by the day to the big D. W wants to be done as quickly as possible because she thinks that by doing so will ease the pain, almost like ripping the band-aid off quick.
There are things that I did that made her feel this was necessary. I am working on DBing as hard as I can and am doing pretty good I think although I have my days.
Hearing that a decent % of couples get back together gives me some hope. Thanks

time does though! The longer this goes on, the less impressed I am with my H's behaviour. Oh well, there may be a miracle and he may pull his head out of his a$$ one day!
