Reconciliation Success Rate

[Pippi]

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a friend (NO, it's not me) who split up with her husband in Oct 08. Thay are now considering reconciling, her motive - the kids, she doesn't love him. She was dating someone that she cared about (he hadn't met the kids), but the kid thing was breaking her heart.

 

What are the odds that they will succeed? My personal thoughts were, that she was doing it for the wrong reasons, but then again I don't have kids, so don't I understand that aspect.

 

Thoughts anyone?

At think as much as the reason is important, it is the effort and the commitment to the making it work will be the ultimate determination.

I have two friends in a simmilar situation . they are in the divorce process. They werent geting along. My friend , the guy files after she thows him out. She starts seeing a new guy.

 

. She moved away with the kids, now 8 months later I hear from her that she and new guy are fighting. She misses her husband. ECT ECT,, MY friend is in same town as me.

 

He wants his marriage back, But he must do some serious changing for it to work. And she does too She is still hesitating. comming back and trying it again. I believe she is confused and wants him back but is afraid for a repeat of the problems.

 

They once before were on the path to divorce but he called it off . So They have been thorugh this before.

 

There is no way to know. what will happen.. people have different motivations for being in relationships.
