Trent, I have to ask: Is it bad, that I want my W back? Even after all the evil she has done, is it bad that I still care, and want to bring her home? I need to know, is this reaction normal? I almost feel like a doormat for wanting her back...
Why would it be bad to feel that way? They are your feelings.You love this woman. You have a family with this woman. But if you ever want a chance to get her back, you can't be a doormat. But you can make a lot of mistakes here that will make any reconciliation impossible.
That's why it is important you take in a lot of the advice you are getting. But at the same point, SD, it is important that you protect yourself here also.
Greek gave you a great post earlier about how to handle. Go back and read it.
Also talk to some of the other experts here.
Don't ever feel guilty about loving your spouse. I think it's awesome you can think that way and have forgiveness in your heart. And want to work at it. It's who you are.
Strength and Honor.
