Yes..it is possible. It is happening right now to me - 6 months post-D, xh is extremely remorseful. In fact, he stated that if he could do it all over again, he would never choose to break up our family. All that and still living with the same ow that he's been with...yet... strangely missing what he used to have when married to me. Go figure! The regret is there but the action to change is not. So, it doesn't really change anything but it's nice to know that I wasn't crzy in thinking that our marriage was worth saving.
