I agree with Eric! I have gone back and forth and around again about why I am doing this still and why I can't seem to let go of XH, I ask myself what is wrong with me that I would even consider taking back someone who has done all the things he has. I always come back to the fact that who he is now isn't who he was for 20 years and that is why I choose to continue (somewhat) to stand. I am divorced, but we have not acted as divorced people yet and it is my goal to have the strength to do that in 2011, because my "simmering anger" isn't good for me anymore, it has lasted too long.

My now XH said and did all the things yours was, he moved out breifly to give me space, but was always professing his love and commitment to me, came back home, swore he wasn't with OW and we were working on our marriage, and then he turned again, I should have known he was back with her, but my heart couldn't take it, he left again this time for good, but was still denying OW and did until the divorce was final.

Stand your ground, be strong and firm, it's you or the OW, period. How you are feeling now with the numbness will change yet again and again!! Be happy you know the OW is still in the picture, if I had known I wouldn't have let him cake eat, but I should have gotten a private eye like everyone told me, I think had I done that and caught him again, we would still be married!! Oh well, hindsight is 20/20, I did what I could!! You can do better, you deserve the best!! I am praying for your miracle to still come true!!
