I know that it feels like it [censored]...basically cause it suck...lol However, I feel that there will always be hope if you can get to a different technique that works. I know its tiring...I know the heart can only take so much...perhaps you need to detach more, ha, like I'm the one to talk on that one eh? Anyway, if you were hoping for something when you offered, that’s where you/we get burned.... I would probably agree and cut contact for some time...continue to be strong for the kids....and always improving yourself. She may or may not developed an interest down the road....
As in my case...I'm encouraged by a few other stories that a coworker just shared with me about 2 of his friends that went thru the same thing. One got back with his wife about a year later , and the other took about 2 years...one of the couples did not share children together (as in my case). So, there is hope...it does happen...but most of the time it doesn’t happen very fast. They have to miss us…and they always do (even if they never come back they will always miss us to a degree) They have to see the changes are permanent and for the better of us as men that they want to spend their lives with. They have to trust that we will not back slide into what they walked away from. So having hope for me is not such a bad thing….I’m still fairly confident that someday, we will have that chance again!
