Would your advice have mattered if your husband taken it, as in he told you his true feelings? Did he tell you his true feelings but you rejected him anyway?
People make bad decisons, and sometimes they are truly sorry for for what they've done. Sometimes they change. There's alot of changed people on this board. People who have woken up. Crises can change your perspective.
There are perfectly valid opposite arguments for every argument you presented. These aren't all lies. They are coping mechanisms, different tactics to SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE TO THE ONE YOU LOVE. FOR YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN.
I don't know you. Your posts seem hard, cold. I do appreciate your perspective though.
