We've all been there. Others try to warn us, but we love our wives and we have blinders on. I did see where others tried to warn you -- repeatedly -- on your old threads, but that's water over the dam now.
As an old friend of mine once said, "If you're not ready, you're not ready . . . and then you are."
Wayward men are typically less organized in their plans. Usually, by the time a wife walks away -- whether or not there's infidelity involved -- they've been emotionally checked out from the marriage, and actively planning their exit from it, for months or even YEARS. It's why they are typically harder to draw back.
