molly, what a great post. I needed to read that today, it made me see a different side of why our spouses or SO's seek others out. Another thing, you and H had a good basis for a R...that is why he came back. The OW was a sounding board and a quick fix...she made him feel good temporarily. But I think they will usually come back if they know the R was a good one...your H just wasn't in a good place and wanted comfort. Thanks for sharing that.
