NLW - hearing about XH is both sad and kind of validating in a way. Goin on 9 months post BD and really starting to think that H sense of time is off. One more reason that I think he is truly lost to us and by the time he returns (if he returns) my girls and I will be older, wiser and not able to relate to him in any way.

As I read these boards it makes me realize the odds of reconciliation are slim. Of course many successes don't post but I still sense that MLC is often so catastrophic that the S has crossed a threshold that makes reconciliation almost impossible.

Wish I could be more optimistic these days but a new reality has taken hold. I still pray. i just think the odds are slim.
