"Do you think I should be promising I won't cheat again this early in the change?"

No because there's nothing that shows that you can be faithful. So your W isn't going to believe it.

"My therapist has corrected me multiple times when I said that I wouldn't and challenged me that I could not say never."

He's correct.

"How am I having a pity party? "

All you seem to do in your posts is write about how much you hurt your W and yet you want her and have changed, and then talked about her A (which I don't even know if I would call it that because of your numerous indiscretions). She's getting her self-respect back in the only way she knows how.

I don't know how many times I've asked for a marital history, and all of your responses have centered around your A's. Is that really all that your M was made of? Untruths, deception and abuse? Again, concentrate on the MARRIAGE.
