Hey SB. Thanks for coming by my thread. I've actually read yours here and there...
What a wonderful thing that your H wrote you an apology letter. I'd love something like that from my W, but don't expect it.

Ahh...to regain that trust. I think this is one of the hardest things our Ses have to deal with...that we just cannot trust them like we used to. I believe it drives them crazy and they'll do a lot to try and regain it. Ultimately, it's up to us to trust again. I've talked about this on my thread, but I think there are two kinds of trust: one is simply a blanket trust we have to give so the R can just survive; and the other is regaining the deeper trust we had before all of the @#$% hit the fan. The former we just have to do out of necessity, and the later will come in time. Yes, time...patience...time...patience...blah, blah, blah. As long as our Ses are showing remorse and are working to have a better R, we just need to deal. It ain't easy, but it is what it is...
