The way his fog lifted is when he decided that he did not want to be a part time Dad. He admitted he committed back to the M for the sake of his kids. It took sometime and a lot of counseling but they are happily married.
From what I hear and read the fog doesn't seem to be entirely lifted until there is atleast a small committment made to making the M work. Then at that point there is still a ton of hardwork. It seems to me the fog slowly disapates over time while both spouses are working at making the M work. This has been my prayer for a while. I just want to see my W giving an ounce of energy into making our M work, until she can do that we cannot begin to put anything back together. With that said my ride continues......
