So lets get this straight. You man is clingy... So you leave and have an affair and you want him to be even more clingy to win you back.
Un-huh
Take some time to read how many men here who were good and decent to their wife won them back being even more clingy.
Go find one.
I think the affair and leaving says more of I do not love you than "fighting"
Right. I had to balance a tough approach with also trying to show my W that I was capable of being a better person than I had been during our R/M. I was always great at it, but I think that I did an okay job. I certainly never went to her while she was in contact with OM and asked her what I could do to win her back. While it may have been murky at times, the boundary was always clear with my W... (My W)+(OM)=(NO DENVER). I don't see how she would have respected me otherwise.
