For me i probably wouldnt becos there would be a trust issue..thinking he/she will leave me again..
Why did you leave her? There must have been some very good reasons for such a drastic act. Have these issues been resovled? If not, have you decided it's better to live WITH these issues and have her in your life as opposed to pining for her day & night? Your profile says you're separated so she is still your wife and it appears you have kids with her. Strong reasons to try to patch up this mess, yes mess! I think you both should seek counselling. Good luck!
She drank too much and was very unpleasant at times. she is in long term detox for 6 months due to her breaking down after i left...part of me wants to give her another chance when shes sorted because shes a real nice person without the alcohol.

Only thing I will add after that revelation is, think of the kids welfare
dnlrff: Was the main reason it went south....the kids didnt need that kind of influence around.
I'm not sticking my business into yours when I say this, but simply responding to the post...but...if she hasn't let loose of the drink by now, then things aren't going to be any better. The same influence is going to be there.
I have a beer now and then maybe a few more but i can handle it. if i let her back in can she cope with no alcohol around my lifestyle? I just dont know

What is making you want to give her another chance..
It seems to me that you are still not certain about her drinking...
There is no drinking in my home arouond my child..
Was she unpleasant to the children..if so pls think more about chasing her down..
Do you feel quilty and think it was ur fault she had to get help becos you left her

Maybe you may have to give up drinking too.That's what it's all about is giving something up for the one you love.If she's as important to you as you say she is then you'd do all you could to save this relationship for the sake of your children.
I know what I'd do but I'm not you.Nor do i have the right to tell you what to do.

if she loved u so much as u mentioned, give it a try she might forgive u and get back.
Oh my! I believe I commented too quickly on this one. Sorry. After you've shared the fact that you left due to her drinking problem, then I will change my comment from win her back to.................continue keeping the children's best interest in mind.
I keep a lid on it too around my kids unless camping or something social. Their more happier since shes gone...but she wont be the same person when she gets out....maybe she can handle not drinking then. Its a tough one.

Here it is..
Children usually come first right???
YOu jsut said they are more happier that she is gone..
You have to ask urself will they be happier that she is back..maybe things could/would change..
Just think about what you see then and what you see now..
When i met her she was a surgical nurse at a good hospital. In that 5 years shes gone to drinking and unemployed...Watching it was so sad hopefully after the 6 month detox will sort her and she can work again and enjoy life.
