I miss my ex-husband like crazy. We were married for 18 years. He fell in love with a younger woman. I hear through the grape vine that his new marriage is a disaster. Everyone hates his new wife including family, co-workers and her ex as well. If it doesn’t work out, and he wants me back, I will go back to him. Why? In spite of his faults, he was my best friend.
Make him earn it or you’ll be sorry. That means counseling to figure out why he had an affair in the first place.
If it makes you feel any better, he only had a 3% chance of it working out with her statistically.
I wouldn’t take him back if he wanted to reconcile. He doesn’t deserve you. There are plenty of fish in the sea and my hope is that you will find someone who loves you and appreciates you and understands the meaning of being monogamous. You can find another best friend that knows how to be loyal.
Just move on. There was a reason it did not work.
Perhaps you have been misinformed and someone just told you what you wanted to hear. So before you end up old and bitter, maybe you should find something other than idle gossip to occupy your time. He loved her enough to marry her despite what others think. He has moved on and so should you.
You say he is your best friend! What a great best friend, with friends like that who needs enemies – cheats on you and then leaves you to marry some other bird. You need to get some help to deal with this
