Starsky....remember...Denver's wife felt just as left behind and abandoned as Denver did
in order to come back together and work at it together...it can not come from a point of whom owes whom more
they were both wronged and both did wrong
it is not tit for tat
Sorry, we will just have to flat-out disagree here, Figg. And again, this is not just my opinion -- MCs and FTs specifically trained in dealing with infidelity will tell you that there are concrete things that a formerly-wayward spouse needs to do, over a period of time, in order to regain the trust of the betrayed spouse.
I'm not saying that Denver didn't have his own contributions to the marital dysfunction, nor am I saying this is a "100/0" proposition. But it's not a "50/50" one, either, at least not for the first couple of years. A spouse who makes the destructive choice to have an affair has to earn their way back into the marriage.
