I have NC but I want to give people a little hope that some men can change. My DH made a mistake a few years ago and has been working so hard to rebuild our lives together.

I came back from a hen party this weekend and he had cleaned the house top to bottom, new bedding, full shop done, kids bags packed and their homework done, he had bought me Margarita ingredients and generally was ready for me to come home. (I know people will say that's the bare minimum but he really does at least 50% of childcare and chores normally).

He sat me down, made the kids lunch and me a frozen Margarita, made me a bacon sandwich and life feels good. I'm currently sat on my second Margarita, with my cats on my lap in our sun room with him currently cleaning the kitchen and sitting with the children reading a story.

2019 me would never had imagined how life would have turned out and I really did think for a long time that I would be silly to stay, but 5 years later, I really am glad that I did.

Quite tone deaf for this board...

People are struggling with technical challenges of separating and divorcing, as well as some very real financial and emotional problems. Not to mention the turmoil these events can have on the children.

Presume it's the margaritas...

I stayed.....the day I found out about the next one he had been in a hotel with her all day, came home and cooked me a 3 course romantic dinner and we had sex.

He would buy me flowers every Sunday....seemed perfect....all a lie.

If he has done it once and learned a lesson great, but word of advice, if it happens again - GO, don't let it happen again third time like I did...

What was his mistake? Putting the wrong bin out? Putting his kids shoes on the wrong feet? Or if it was cheating, that's a series of ongoing choices, not a whoops.

If a man chose to cheat on me, having a bacon sandwich and seeing him perform basic tasks would not make me happy at all, but that's great it does for you.
