After you've had it and left, is there anything your H could do to make you willing to take a fresh look at him?

My xw is a WAW. No physical abuse was involved. I admit I suffered anger attacks from my depression. Finally, after the D, my meds get adjusted to where they stopped. I just want a chance now that my life is back in control.

No. Nothing.

I don't dislike him -- there are no hateful bad feelings at all (ok maybe occasional anger about not packing socks for my son)

I just don't want to be married to him anymore. And there is not one single thing that could change my mind about that.

Also from what I understand, this is the hardest situation to recover from. Hence my inquiry.
