So, you believe that dating did or didn't have an effect on your wife wanting to stay with you?

I don't see a problem with dating, while wanting your spouse back, as long as you make it clear to who you are dating that you want your spouse back. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether or not it can actually ever hurt your chances of getting your spouse back. I'm sure it can help. I just don't know whether there are times when it can hurt.
