My opinion is that this is absolutely something you should be thinking about. I know one of the biggest hurdles I have faced (and still face) is the guilt that I carry inside for leaving, the feeling that I don't deserve to come back after all the pain I've caused my H... the feeling that he deserves better and that it's better off for both of us if I just stay gone. I've never actually talked to my H about this issue (I suppose I should), but I guess the one thing he could do would be to say that he knows I left for my own reasons, that he forgives me, and that he'll never use it against me in the future when he can (i.e. during arguments, etc.) That's probably the most important thing - not so much what you do now, but what you do in the future. Never use something as painful as walking away from a marriage against your wife if she does come back for good...
