Your husband or wife of 8 years with children, out the blue announces to you they want a divorce. When you make the suggestion about going to seek counseling before getting a divorce, your significant other quickly says they do not want counseling and are not happy with you. 6 months later your ex is calling you up because they have discovered the grass is not greener on the other side of the fence.

Would you take them back and give them another chance? Or would you tell them no thank you and continue trying to build a new life for yourself without them?

Ok, I'll admit it - Something very similar to this happened to me and that's how I handled it... BUT, thanks to an amazing woman with a wonderful heart and a beautiful soul, it'll never happen again! (Love ya' J!love )

I think the first clue was that he refused counseling. I'm seeing this as completely selfish behavior on his part, and nothing has really changed. It's symptomatic of a personality disorder or at least excessive narcissism.

What's in it for you? Not a lot from what I can tell. Having a father for your children is not as critical as having respect for yourself.

That's just my opinion. If I really loved someone, divorce would be my last option. I would enter counseling as long as the other person agreed to it also. Problems in a relationship are always about two people, not just one.

I must apologize for not saying this was not about myself. laugh And if something like this ever happened to me, and my mate refused counseling, he would be kicked to the curb in warp speed. wink wave

No I would not take him back,just for all the stuff he had put me through. Why should I forgive someone who has betrayed, hurt, and screwed me over. Am I more loyal to him than to myself ?

it depends on the deterioration that it had been when you where with him and what he is willing to accomplish with me.

Most people do need some time out to realise that what they have home it's not actually bad.
Women have more perception about what goes on with other couples cause we always tend to talk/tell our problems easily.

Most man don't realise that it's quite impossible to have a ready smile 365 days. I see by some profiles here as well, where they say: "i don't like arguing" "If you don't love smiling, don't contact me". There are those who can't stand a fight, don't know how to deal with it. When the couple starts facing problems(that is when a relation truly starts cause the honey that comes at the beggining, it comes for everyone in love, so, no big deal), they just think they should get that first honey back again...with someone else. They are only happy, funny to fresh meat...otherwise they are...boring maybe. So, then you are not funny or interesting.

Depending on our performance through the years, have him back or it has just been a relief "loosing" him!
