I have been on these boards for 3 years now and only know of a handful of spouses that have come back. I would also "guess" that is only the men that come back.
This has been my opinion as well. There have been other sites I have checked and it appears that men come back more than women. However, that could be because more women use these forums. Who knows. Howeve, at my high school reunion last fall one of my classmates did get re-married to his ex-wife who had left him for an OM. Not sure how long they were divorced and all the details as I received this information second hand and did not get a chance to talk to the actual source.
I also wonder about the statistic regarding relationships and ultimately marriages that fail. It has been a while since I have checked my sources, but I remember seeing that most affairs end anywhere from 6 months to 4 years and 85% of marriages to the affair partner end in divorce within 5 years. However, I can think of four cases off the top of my head where that has not been the case.
Anyway, just my $0.02. I had a lonely weekend and for whatever reason was thinking about her more than usual. Oh well, as someone posted there are good days and bad days as we continue to GAL.
