And if you hadn't been willing to change in an intentional fashion to learn new behaviors.

Don't forget to credit yourself!

I would rather hope that parents don't behave like pigs and sacrifice the well being of their children in pursuit of their depravity. I would rather hope that little boys don't have to see their mother acting like a skank with a married man. I would rather hope that little girls don't have to see their fathers acting like a degenerate with a married woman. I would rather than hope that parents would work to turn a bad marriage around rather than destroying so many lives.

But.......hope is not reality, is it? frown

Most of us here have lived through adultery....and our children...

unfortunately my DS and I have been through hell and back....We are doing better but I know I am definitely worse for the wear...Its hurts your soul...and my DS he is doing well, but misses having a father living at home...This affair has not made him better or happier. We are happy now though, but the wounds are deep..

My WH and OW are prolly HAPPY...but at what cost...the cost of unending pain for everyone else involved...so sorry if I dont wish the adulterers well....

So Tom you can be optimistic all you want...The rest of us, who have lived through it, will be realistic.
