Yes I think thats true of my x.In the beginning he was miserable and unhappy but that was because he had hurt me and lied also his kids had no contact, but as time went on and I started to get better, moved house etc. he says he is happy and only regrets how he left our marriage not that he did.
Not sure how much faith I would put to the statement
""I know he is miserable, he said so himself" after all waw's are not known for actually telling the truth are they or are we to believe they are miserable because it makes us feel better?
Sorry I think there is a difference between exit Affairs and an A in MLC.
