I was here yrs ago when my m was failing. exh had ow. After his r with ow ended, he finally looked at the wreck he had created and woke up. He was deeply remorseful, regretted what he'd put me thru, missed me & dd terribly. Wanted reconciliation... AFTER the D. I thought I would have given limbs for this chance But handed the opportunity, I surprised myself and declined. We all have a point of no return. I could not go back. I did explore the possibility a bit b4 realizing I just didn't have it in me to begin the process, I'd lost the desire to do the work. I admire & respect people here who DB & don't lose faith even after years. But I guess I don't have that much patience in the end. It seems you may be there. ? Only you know. If you're considering it, he needs to know it's your way or no way. After what he's put you & the m thru. Ow is out of picture for good or it's off the table, don't you agree? I shouldn't encourage or advise you toward any decision since I don't know your situation. Just commenting on the sense I have about your post. Tell us more. Do you love him? Do you think he's making a cognitive decsion to return to m?
