For what it is worth, I am not sure my XW ever said sorry. At the end of the day, I am not really sure I care, because it is too easy to simply say it. Much harder to show it. I guess that is what you expect....for him to somehow show how sorry he is that he cheated on you and left you and his family, the life you guys had, the dreams etc. That is what gets me sometimes....how bad could it have been for "them" to decide it was not worth going on.....not worth the effort to even give it a real shot, with a loving spouse willing to forgive their transgressions.
I agree with Ali on much of what she writes. The day you move on or drop the rope (as we used to say) is the day that his actions will not affect you as much. I realize you guys are in a small town and have kids. I understand that it is very difficult. Believe me...I sometimes get caught up in what the XW texts or emails me. The difference is that everything is now complimentary......but does it make a difference? The end result is the same. WE need to control the effects that they have on us.
