bump to keep all the target threads together. May these threads help you all.
FBW then 46, XWHNPDPAFTG the destroyer of my entire life. D-Day 1 '99, D-Day 2,3,4,5,6... '09-'11, D '15. I fell apart. I put myself back together. Forgiveness isn't required. I'm happy and healthy now, and MY new life is good.

Thank you for your insight! I am a newbie and came across this thread. My WH claims he is remorseful and indicates all that he does to show he wants our family to heal. Truth is, he is rugsweeping and we both have our entire marriage. I never really knew what true remorse was but I always knew I wasn’t getting the feeling that things were improving in my heart and soul. Our trust has been shattered multiple times, most recently with an affair I found out about 6 months ago. There has been no full disclosure. He gets frustrated when I bring it up and asks me not to say her name. He avoids talking about it. Instead he thinks making dinner, being home more and planning family outings is effort. He even planned a trip to Disney which I initially thought was insane...I mean we are at rock bottom and you want to plan a trip. My second thought I couldn’t do it as a single parent so it will be good for the kids. It is effort for our family but not remorseful! He also tries to rush me to be intimate or close to him and truthfully I can’t stand him anymore!!!
By you made it clear what true remorse is and nothing on that list is happening for me. So sad!!

Wow, so first post. Thank you for that. My WS was meeting all of the rugsweeping critera during our reconciliation, which helped me articulate why I wanted to separate. I actually send him this image. It helped me not only realize how little he was doing I think it helped him too.

Imagine a ship trying to set sail while towing an anchor. Cutting free is not a gift to the anchor. You must release that burden, not because the anchor is worthy, but because the ship is.
