10-31-99: Found out about EA and gave him the ultimatum to get counselling, give her up, etc.

thanksgiving 99: he moved out to his own apt. Said he wanted a divorce (hated me intensely. I found DB and immed. implemented.

There followed 1 1/2 yrs of me DBing my fanny off.

3-30-01: H woke up, begged for my forgiveness, said he would do ANYTHING to get me back. Immed. broke it off with EA and started pursuing me like crazy, begging, pleading, crying (oh it was wonderful!)

6-23-01: I let him move back, only after almost 3 months of him chasing me like crazy.

He is back now almost a year and things are going wonderfully--we are getting along better than ever in our 21 1/2 yr. marriage!

One teen child left at home--others gone. She went over to H's apt. EVERY weekend while we were separated! I don't really think she had anything to do with him coming home as she is in late teens. It was mainly the dynamics between the two of us that brought him home...also his territorial instincts firing up when he found out I was making a life and it DIDN'T include HIM.
