W threatened to leave before when she had an EA 1 year into M. She recommitted to the M. She said sorry she did it at first, but it wasn't until about 1 year later that she looked me in the eye out of nowhere one night and said that she was very sorry that she hurt me by having the EA, she couldn't imagine the pain it did to me, and that she wanted me to know that she would never would do that or hurt me like that again. At that point I felt her remorse, not before.
It is a process for them. They don't wake up one day and feel terrible about the things they did. It slowly eats away at them and then one day they feel the need to release the guilt.
