I was reading "the Prodigal's Prospective" and in it the author says that they really do feel guilt and that their life is not as happy as it seems...I have no idea...I am assuming this is true. But how can your H's 'new life' be any better when he did not face the problems in his 'old one'? Think about it.
You are so right! He would never face it, when he first told me he wanted a D he said we would not discuss our past anymore. When I would bring it up he said I told you we are not discussing that, I couldn't even talk. I think it was the guilt & he knows we had a good M.
I sure hope you don't have to cross that bridge, believe me it is not easy! My H would get so angry when it didn't go his way, it was terrible & him still in the same house with me!! I would get so uneasy when he would come home, but I never knew what he was going to do or say, he was out of control.
