Did he ever ask to come back?

If you were in a long term relationship/marriage, and you chucked him out for having an affair, or he left of his own accord.

Did he ever ask to come back?

What did you do?

Hypothetical pondering, tis all.

Some sorry specimens on this thread but the "take my passport off me to save me from myself" really did make me laugh.

Oh yeah, he was a peach... Jilted the OW at the altar not once but twice within three months, then told his mother he'd married her the third time as a trial run. still, she got the passport she wanted

Loving this thread .. and Dinah ... your taking his passport off him to 'save him from himself' made me roar with laughter.

"Lay on the floor like a big baby" made me smirk.

Not quite the same but I eventually threw my ex H out after years of cheating and much abuse of all kinds including physical. To this day he tells anyone who will listen "I was just getting ready to change, Nikki just isn't prepared to put the work into a marriage" Shock He truly believes that he should still be living in the family home.

Yes. He did. And contrary to many people's experience, we're giving it a go. We'll see....

Celynfour · 18/06/2014 06:47

Yes he did.
But I didn't see any of the problems had gone away .
So he moved in with ow and got engaged two weeks later.
He still, a year later, tells my friends occasionally that it's lucky he's got her house to live in as it's rent free so he doesn't have any overheads. Charming, romance isn't dead.
Tho actually I hope he can be happy,

I love how you are all in the "wrong" for saying 'no', or not believing in them, or not taking their fucking passports off them (!). There are some deluded people around.

I'm sort of nervous that they are 'out there' and I might meet them one day....

I am slightly envious of Guitarosaurus. I want a dog...the man can wait though.

Fay, if it doesn't work out and you end up feeling 'foolish', don't. Best of luck.

I should add as a caveat the ow emailed me about three months later to check that 'we were really over' so I'm guessing he was still not communicating well! I had filed for divorce but he wouldn't give me an address...
Don't worry about meeting them, as far as I can see they are living with ow or their mum :)

Thanks Well, it's going ok so far, I've made a lot of changes to my life too, getting out much more with friends and hobbies etc. And actually the 'foolish' is my name refers to a Gilbert and Sullivan song, it's not how I'm feeling, though its still early days!!
