I am told very regularly from friends and family that I am TOO NICE!
How do YOU want to be? They haven't walked in your shoes, they just don't know and are maybe are just repeating "common wisdom". Choose how YOU want to be, it's your journey, not theirs.

My family is now saying that I better never take him back if he did come back. They are so disappointed at the way he has hurt my kids and I. That makes it harder for me when I hear this from them because it makes me wonder that if he ever did have a change of heart, would we be able to rise above?
I have had to REALLY be careful of what I tell my family. They don't know about W's affairs and stuff, they would not accept her back due to what my sister's XH did to her (left her for OW and bomb dropped literally hours after the birth of my sisters and his 2nd child). This is something you may want to think about, they do not need to know everything, and maybe shouldn't.
Hang in there, you are doing great!
