Blah, blah, blah... Words, words,words... He's embarrassed b the whole hair clips thing and just trying to create a distance. It's actions you look at, not words.
As far as when you're done... When you want to be. When you don't want an r with him anymore.
Fwiw... I've wondered this too... I can see a life without my w. I still love her and think life with her would be worth all of this, and added to that I feel it it's best for our kids that we have a working M. When or if the first clause changes in my head then it will be time to quit.
With one caveat... These changes are for me and I don't intend to undo them. My w and I have kids and step kids tied up in this, so we will have some type of r forever. It's when do I decide immwilling to look for a new partner... Up until then the door is open I guess.
