I will answer, but you may not be happy you asked, lol.
I DB'ed for almost 3 years before he came back.
There was all but zero contact. He moved in with OW that I had no idea about in a different state hours away. He had no desire to stay in contact with the kids and definitely not me.
My life was magical when the 3 years was over. Perfect H, perfect family, perfect job. It was the honeymoon phase all over again, but better. Neither of us could believe how lucky we were. That was 8 forgotten years ago.
Me: 42 H: 45 M: 18 yrs T: 20 yrs D: 17 D: 15 S: 12 I kicked him out 8/21/15 I will DB until March 21st 2017, that is it!
