There are probably three things, more than anything else, that were responsible for my wife deciding to end her affair and try to reconcile our marriage with me. Not my GALing, not my changes, but -- IN ORDER:
1. The pressure and disapproval of her mother, after I exposed to her parents.
2. The pressure and disapproval of our daughters, esp. D-then-18, after I exposed to her and her sister.
3. My telling her that I had no intention of being her friend, much less her BEST friend, if she chose to end our marriage this way (by having an affair, lying to her family about it, and cutting and running).
