You have walked away.

Your husband wants you back.

You still love your husband and maybe even wish it could work, but are now enjoying the company of another man.

Do you have more respect for your husband if he waits for you no matter how long it takes?

Or do you respect him more if he allows himself to be open to the possibility of starting a new relationship with another woman?

And what about (speaking purely hypothetically, of course, not that I would have ever done such a thing to my wife... ) but what if your husband cheated first and you were unsure about whether or not you wanted to be with him again?

Again, purely hypothetical.
