Well I am currently a LBS with 1/2 time with a D3 - been like that for nearly a year now.
Nearly everyday, I pray for another chance to try to have my traditional family back together.
I have learned the things were not working right in my M. I learned that my priorities were mixed up. Work, chores, D3 then W. If I could do it all over again I would focus on W, D3, Work, chores.
You can think of it as you want.
I would be thankful that my W came back no matter what (the prodigal son). I would show her my love and appreciation for having her back in my life - in a way that she would never contemplate being a WAW again. Hopefully, she would act the same way. It takes both people to forgive, to show appreciation, and to show respect to each other - for the love to be restored. Love is the culmination of many emotions and inner thoughts building up over time and trials - there are many levels/forms of Love. Too many people see love as the butterflies and the weak in the knees - that is not love that is infatuation - which either goes away after a period of time or develops into deeper feelings.
People make mistakes in life. We are all human. Trust can be rebuilt - love can be restored - if both people are will to put in the time and effort.
Your sons really do not have much say in the matter - it is up to you to do what is right for them. Which is better for them - Forgiveness or Divorce ?
