Mike, I found May's and Steve's threads for you. These are successful reconciliation stories from people who had partners in active affairs, found enough empathy/validation vs. gal/boundaries to reconcile, and forged stronger relationships with their partners within 1-3yrs. Studying those who achieved the same outcome you wish for is wise. Your situation is promising.
