Before anyone else says it - I know I'm a fool for wanting my husband back but with reflection I have realised I was partly to blame for his affair.
I have two young children (1&3) and two months ago my husband left me for someone he had 'feelings for' at work. She is 10 years younger than him, works in his office and their relationship developed during a business trip.
He says nothing has happened (not sure about this) and is living alone in a flat leaving me with the children in the house.
He visits the children twice a week and we go out as a family on weekends. We still get on very well but he says he doesn't love me any more.
Looking back I was very preoccupied by our two children and was a bit dismissive and unappreciative of him. I didn't tell him how much I cared and we stopped going out as a couple. I know this is no excuse for his behavior but I do appreciate why he may have fallen for someone who paid him a lot of attention.
Anyway, I do want him back and I would be interested to hear how anyone else has approached this situation - did it work.
I realised too late how much I loved him
