Hi - again thanks for taking the time to respond. It is so helpful to get some perspective.

We both had a part of making our marriage fall apart and my exh wants to go to counsleing and is willing to ensure we get to a place where we can communicate better than before.

I know that right now with the new guy - it is fantasy - buying cute underwear instead of ratty ones :)and all of that beginnig fun stuff. Bottom line is there will be no one that will love the girls like he does and that is worth trying again.

Thanks!
