Hi TAGIII.....thanks for reading. To answer your question, what went through my mind when he approached me for reconciliation was all the good times we had over the last 11 years. All of a sudden, I remembered the good times. The bad ones didn't seem as bad or as often as I had once remembered it. I remembered the love, but I also felt it again too. Then I thought of the future, and my children having their family intact once again.
As far as the D, I guess because I am in a different frame of mind then your W, I wouldn't see myself as a failure for not seeing it through. Quite the opposite, although financially it isn't the wisest decision, in every other aspect it is. Although I haven't read your sitch, I am sorry to hear that you are going through all these strides to no avail. One thing I learned, detachment is key.
Thanks again for reading. I hope I answered your question.
