WAWs: What Brought You Back?

[tbart01]

I know what I did when my W told me she wanted a D. I went on a serious journey to assess and reflect on myself. I took a long look at myself and realized I wasn't the man I wanted to be.

I was deployed in Afghanistan and all I did for six months was work on myself. I also stuck by DBing and applying what I read in the DR.

My W was 100% convinced that she wanted to D me. I've been home for a month now, and my W had told me twice this past week that she doesn't want to D. We're still separated, but we're both working on the M.

She told me the other night that if I had come back the same person I was when I left we would be getting a D. The fact that I took a long look at myself and made improvements is what may have potentially changed the outcome. I also have to give credit to what you learn and apply on this site.
