You have a lot of stuff that has happened in your M...
1997-birth of a child 1999?-H has motorbike accident 2001-you have EA, which he doesn't know about 2003-you want D and tell him about old and ended EA 2004-he wants to try swinging, you agree, however you aren't really happy with it and want it to stop On and off with this lifestyle (on his part)until 2007.
First bomb, admits OW, wants D...
You DB for a few months and he wants to reconcile. Says all of the right things, you post in piecing for a month, and then you disappear...
Did any of the counseling happen? Did any of the things you were beginning to do continue? Like the meditation classes, taking care of yourself physically, taking time to love yourself?
I am going to bet it probably didn't since you are back here...
So it's 2013...
You have been through a storm of a M. You have made your mistakes, just as your H has made his.
You used DB tactics to reconcile your M once (did that too) but you didn't do the follow through and back here you are...
maybe dealing with MLC, maybe not...
here none the less...
You being here tells me that maybe you don't want to quit just yet...
Let me know if I am off base. I want to make sure I understand the timeline...
