Can I just add. GB if you are still around. There is also the embarrassment factor. What about my family and her having to reconnect with them? I think this is a big issue for her.
If you are worried about when our family, parents and friends will think about it you and us reconciling I'd like to point out a few things. Initially, we would avoid them and spend a great deal of our time rebuilding OUR marriage and relationship before bothering with others outside of our immediate family. Then, if we've come to a place of forgiveness relationships with my family and our friends can develop and profess naturally out of that forgiveness or not. They wouldn't have the right to judge you or disrespect you for something that I have already forgiven you for. That doesn't mean we won't have difficult moments and issues now and then. It's family and that's how relationships ebb and flow but I guarantee I will stand by your side every step of the way.
It's like we tell our son, it's not what you did wrong that the biggest issue but how you conduct yourself afterwards that makes all the difference. Acknowledge, apologize, make amends.
Peter denied Jesus THREE times before the rooster crowed...Jesus still loved him. I am certainly no Jesus, but I'm trying and think our son is worth trying for too.

The internet is 90% complaining and entitlement and I hate it because I deserve better!
