Are there any men on this forum who have had their WW have an affair, file for divorce, but recover as the result of MB principles?

If there are, would you consider posting your story?

Thanks and God Bless!

awake,
I'm not a MB man, but I don't want your topic to fall off the front page before one shows up.

And, I do have a successful MB H, a little more complications than your parameters. H had an 18 mo PA with a co-worker. Nearly 2 years after that began, the PA over for 4 mo, I discovered EA contact continued, even as my H said he wanted the marriage. We were separated for the 7th time. I served divorce papers and began dating a "good friend" (still married, so WW).

H really did want to change, and did so. He did a 3-4 month Plan A on me. I ended contact with the OM, didn't progress on the divorce. About 2 months later H & I reconciled. That was almost 3 years ago.

H's Plan A was effective not only because he did it very well, but having done a long one of my own, I knew exactly how difficult Plan A is, and I respected him for the effort.

And my affair, though born out of a BS's "bridge burning" mindset set, was as sticky as any A because the OM was very kind and loving to me, and good at spinning the fantasy that I'd never have to worry with him. (He married someone else 2 months after H & I reconciled, so I later had my doubts about that!).

Plan A is powerful on a receptive heart, if I hadn't done mine, if my H hadn't done his, I think we'd be divorced.

My H posted for a short time during our last separation, member #4410 Guard, if you want to search his old posts.
