My .02 cents.... In the beginning of my affair if my wife would have drawn the line or given me an ultimatum, I would have walked for good. As I began to end my affair, if my wife would have drawn the line or given me an ultimatum, I would have come back but with some resentment.
I decided to come back. She did not guilt me into it. She did not beg or cry. The fact it was my decision not hers gives me hope for my marriage. When I left the first time, I came back for guilt....I left again a month later. When I came back the second time, I came back because of remorse. I will not leave again unless she asks.
