Well, I thought it about time I popped in and gave some encouragement to those going through such a difficult time. We are still very much back as a family after my H's mlc and ptsd which ended 4 years ago and lasted 3 years with 1 year living apart. In fact we are celebrating 25 years of marriage next year and are going to renew our vows on a beach in Zanzibar with my daughters in a few weeks time. It was the most horrible time I have ever been through and I had literally signed the divorce papers when H "came round"! Our marriage is better than it has ever been and he is constantly thankful to be back and v sorry for everything he put me through. Like BND I learnt so much about myself and also so many life lessons. I never lost faith in my marriage although it was extremely difficult and at times H was just plain nasty. I love him more than ever now. My heart goes out to all of you going through this and I hope my story will encourage you.
