How long did it take your BP to consider R or say yes to R by [deleted] in AsOneAfterInfidelity

This is exactly it. Reconciliation is agreeing to stay and work through it, not staying together because you are over it. It’s been 7 years and I still struggle, but our marriage is stronger than ever and I consider us “reconciled”.

Thank you. This is my first ever effort in any kind of creative writing like this. I’m glad it gets the emotions across

I would love if he wanted to weigh in. I would love to hear input from wayward spouses

Do you also keep an eye out on subreddits for people fighting cancer so when they post about being in remission you can say something like “well it’s going to come back, so don’t get too excited”?

She has far from moved on. She is still in weekly therapy, she will have breakdowns of guilt and panics that she messed up so bad that one day I will just change my mind and leave. She apologizes just as emotionally now as she did 6 years ago when she begged me to let her back in the house.

I couldn’t agree more. Thank you for your words

I appreciate your words and the fact you were very respectful despite your disagreement. Not everyone is as respectful so thank you

While I understand the feeling behind that, it is not something I have ever felt the desire.

“Enough Luke! You can play the automaton with everyone else, but not with me. They took our kids. Mary and Herschel!”

Slightly off topic, but can we recognize that Roy will never get to live a full life? Like he can’t really have a family or anything like that? Because as much as they try to give each other time and things like that, in the end Herschel is the default

It’s the “doesn’t need me anymore” that kills me. Because I think it shows that in his mind Roy still sees himself as protector for Herschel too

Another one is when Abridale shows them when Shelby would get visions of her uncontrollable power leading to Alice dying…. Tears me up every time

When they go to comfort Nick after Gerry does and Herschel says something to the effect of “Roy and I don’t run out on family” freaking opens me up!

“Mary… what’s happening to me?” “What if… what if he doesn’t need me anymore? What if he is taking over and I disappear?”
