Do The Cheaters Really Regret Leaving?


Do The Cheaters Really Regret Leaving?


A Question From A d360.com Member


By DIVORCE360 MEMBER

     I keep hearing "he'll regret it, you'll see."...."he'll realize the mistake he made."

I honestly don't think he will.


He cheated.
He wanted out.
He filed. 
Why would he regret it?

I will not lie, it would make me feel fantastic if he confesses to making the mistake of leaving me or if he regrets his decision but what are the odds?
 
I mean seriously, if you are the one to find someone else, file and want out -- would you really regret it?

Thoughts?

"I am in the process of watching my marriage of 17 years fall apart and I did choose to cheat at one point. I do regret cheating and I think that it was the beginning of the end even if it happened 4 years ago. I stopped thinking of marriage as a commitment and started examining it as what it did or didn't do for ME which moved me away from focusing on what my wife needed. Cheating is honestly a symptom of a bigger problem, I should have confronted my wife with my unhappiness and sought resolution. If a friend asked me if it was worth it, the answer would be no.
