I just posted this on Mia's thread. This is why I try to stay optimistic. Granted,it keeps me from moving forward with my life completely. But miracles do happen:
I have friends who got back together after one had a 1.5 years long affair. They are doing well. Another couple are back together after one moved out with no warning to another state! That took over a year I believe. It's possible.

And I forgot to mention another couple I know. He loved her completely and worshiped the ground she walked on. She was kind of a biatch to him, didn't appreciate him at all. They separated, at her request. He found a cute apartment, started dating, and moved on with his interesting life. She missed him, couldn't believe he was doing so well. They are back together and happy.

Don't give up until it's time, then move on
