Hi TJP, there is always hope, I do know of one successful reconciliation. P’s wife first started to exhibit strange behaviours the day after her 40th birthday back in Sept 98. For many years after she wouldn't ride in the car with him. And then around late fall 02 she moved in with one of her husbands best friends. She stayed with the OM till May 03 when she finally realized her mistake.
A year after she came back her husband said their relationship was better than ever, And I still see them quite often to speak to. At school she was a friend of my Ex wife. I Also know of 3 other MLC'ers that will never come back or the ex's would never have them back. These 3 have a lot in common. They are easily lead, have low self esteem and they have a negative image of themselves, oh and they are also all women.
