Some background. According to her I was an ass about 3 years ago, moody and neglectful, she was never able to forgive me, and it cause her to not be "in love" with me anymore. She claims that the time away, plus dating will help her appreciate me more because she will be able to compare me to others. She feels this experience will help her regain feeling for me.
She claims all she wants to do is date, which we all know is BS.
As far as the trust thing, what does it matter if you know about the affair before or after it happens. Doesn't everyone affected by infidelity have to deal with regaining trust. Or are you saying that once someone has an affair that that's it, there is no chance for regaining trust? If that's the case then we can scrap this whole section of the DB website. The whole point of this section is to help people reconcile a relationship after an affair.
