Yes! I'm starting to realize that. This is not a matter of "please come back, all is forgiven" anymore. For me to see anything worthwhile in an ongoing relationship with her, I would need to see real and meaningful change in her. She would need to be willing to own her mistakes and work on them.


That's exactly right. And it can and does happen, there are many examples on these forums. But they've got to have an awakening as to what they are doing and what they've become, and what they may have lost.
