No... Not for me and Crystal... I wish.

Are there any formerly wayward spouses in this forum who were certain that they were going to leave after the A was fairly old news, but who decided to stay and work on their marriage?

You probably know my story, so I won't bore you with my details.

I was just wondering if there are any success stories out there. And if there are people who have been as far to the brink as Crystal and I, but who came back, what was the turning point? What got you to CHOOSE to return to the betrayed spouse to resurrect the marriage?

Thanks. I could really use some encouragement.

TD,

I believe you don't want to hear me say this...

:::waving my hand weakly:::

I was one. Why do you think I relate so much to yours and Crystal's story (from her first post) that I stalk you, huh?

I am a FWW, in the A for 2.5 years. OM and I were living together all that time, divorce papers all written but never filed. I wanted to reconcile with BH after 2.5 years and I was fully committed to the marriage after reconciliation.
