I was the one who had the affairs. When my husband started making changes/trying to make changes...the ones that I had talked about for years and years and years...that's when I started seeing him differently. The thought of living my life the way it had been the past 10 years was depressing to me. And, in fact, I became depressed. Being a part time parent was NOT something that would make me happy, so that factored BIG into it. Also, I started praying a LOT.

Mood swings. For a female, a lot has to do with hormones. But, any contact whatsoever with the OP can cause those swings. Even looking at an old email, etc. Thoughts of what it was like with OP (the fantasy love and bliss) and depression/anger of what it is like at home can cause this as well. Not fair, but true.
