Please keep to one thread. When you have numerous threads, it is difficult for us to keep up with you. Also, you cannot follow your progress as well. Okay?
To answer your question..the 80% number has been floating around for the last 10 years. . You cannot base that percentage on those who post here....because we are only a small percentage of the population. However, I do think that there is a high number of mlcers that think about returning, but cannot because the spouse either has moved on w/another partner, or the betrayal was too much and then again, there is the pride factor and the work involved...some mlcers just can't do it.
Just remember, percentages are just numbers and those numbers can change hourly.....
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
