Perhaps. However, it could be something else. Maybe it is what I said. How about you address that. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 provides:

"If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, 2 and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man, 3 and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, 4 then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord...."

So there it is. That is why. Now I understand all that has been said about atonement, etc. But given the scripture, is it allowed to return? I just don't see it that way, but please tell me why I am wrong.

Jesus corrected this problem ... he prefers you remain married to the wife of your youth, so it is okay to marry your first spouse. If you marry another, divorce, and then remarry your first spouse it would be pleasing to him because that is what God ultimately likes.

My WW plans to marry her POS AP. If I were to get an apology letter from her a few years from now, I imagine I would be glad to finally hear that she has remorse and is paying the price of guilt for her decisions. Actually, I know she is already even though she's deep in a fog and won't say it. But the acknowledgment would probably help a little. On the other hand, they're just words without actions meant to appease and help assuage guilt. An apology is not just compensation, that's for sure. Also, coming out of the blue after 2 years of no contact may just trigger memories of hell that have been mercifully buried by time.

This thread should be read by all waywards because it shows how one can never expunge the guilt of an evil, selfish deed that has long-lasting, devastating consequences to others.

I would not want an apology from WH, it is meaningless. I've moved on.

A man who abandons his wife and children because of his infidelity is no price. I can do better then that, I deserve better then that.

The difficulties and struggles of today are but the price we must pay for the accomplishments and victories of tomorrow

Men must be honest with themselves before they can be honest with others. A man who is not honest with himself presents a hopeless case
