Husband left for the second time - 8

[Manta]

Hi PsySara,

Thanks. I will respond more later but I just want to say that all makes sense and the overarching question I have is whether someone like that will ever decide that being a cheating, underachieving, low-life father can ever be redeemed in the future? In other words, he may just file for divorce or I may cut him off further so there's not really any hope in the short term to save the marriage but I feel if he continues on this path it'll really impact our daughter someday seeing her father running around like a playboy, getting fired from jobs, not being reliable, knowing that he abandoned her mom, etc.. Can a personality like that ever change? In your case I think your husband never wanted to move out or get divorced but he probably didn't know how to communicate until he realized he had no other chance. Your situation always seemed more hopeful although your husband did seem pretty lost for a while. Mine already has a whole separate life so if he was ever to feel the loss he would have already felt it, but I just wonder about the long-term.

I think you're doing an amazing job keeping it together Nicole. It can't be easy, especially during the holidays. Hang in there and keep your chin up.

God always gives the hardest tasks to his strongest soldier's.
