No telling. This is why I hate the term "Midlife Crisis". It could be a permanent change. Or it could be a change that last so long it doesn't matter if eventually she will come back because the LBH as already moved forward past ever being open to an R with her again. Lots of WWs never change back into who they were before. I do think, and have stated, that there is a high likelihood, if they live long enough, that they will regret their choice enough to want to try to fix it and get back with the LBH, but the LBH should not ever count on that occurring during their lifetime. I have known a handful of WASs that after their LBS passed away years later have lamented the fact that they ever left their marriage. But of course, by then it is too late.

All I can say is move your life forward, and if you ever come to that bridge you can decide whether or not to cross it then.


Interesting - we're both the same age - mid 40s. I suppose she's at the age where she's almost about to go through menopause.

There is still the same defiance and bad attitude that wasn't previously there prior to all this. She was raised with Christian principles.
