Puppy, you all have given me great advice.

We talked for a bit today. I told him he could only come home if he was there to work on us. I also said I needed total transparency...I want access to his phone and the call details. I said I understood he felt gulity for walking out on me but that I have come to a place where I don't NEED him. I said that yes, I want him home and I would love to make the marriage work but I do not need him there. I will be fine without him.

He said he has been thinking a lot the last few weeks. He said this is what he wants to do. He does not want to make any promises to me because he has hurt me enough but that he knows he wants to work with me.

There was a ton more said but I did not let him walk all over me. I made it clear that if he leaves again I will file for divorce next time. I refuse to be hurt again.

Now, here is my question....do I let him come back to the spare room or back to our room?
