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.

This isn’t what any of us signed up for. But it is the hand that we have been dealt. Thus, we must play it.

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.

I have a question about this...
After doing a lot more reading here, it seems remorse is not a usual immediate occurrence after DDay.
After reading the four pillars here in comparison to rug-sweeping I was afraid that my WH is more inbetween the two or even more leaning towards rug-sweeping.
I had him just read those 4 things last night and before I could even ask him, he said, "I'm more like the rug-sweeping"
So...I'm concerned. But then I think, he's aware of it at least. And again, we're only a few months out. Years of pent up angry feelings he is now finally trying to work through and I'm also working through my anger for the A.
So, should there be concern in this situation? I recently read here where it was 8-9 months out before the WS really became remorseful. So, it seems real remorse comes later rather than earlier? Just would like some opinions.
And thanks for posting this again or bumping it! It's very informative and helpful.

Aowife- excellent questions. My concern is that this thread is no longer used much for discussion - it is bumped for the clarity of the initial post. I don’t know how much traffic your questions will get here on the last page of this bullseyed thread.
I suggest you ask this in general or JFO or even reconciliation (your choice) and mention you’ve read this thread and ask your questions again.
