Emptyinside and Betrayed, I'm praying for you both.
I'll admit that, despite my penchant for divorce, I good reconciliation always warms my heart. It makes me feel human, and gives me a bit of hope.

That being said, I feel that Empty Inside is being far too positive - and it comes of as facetious. I get the impression that she's putting on a front, and she's telling everyone what she thinks they want to hear, rather than working on improving herself as a wife and a human being. That's how I read her posts, at least.

It's great that Betrayed1 is addressing his attitudes and flaws with respect to his marriage. I get a strong sense that he is trying to improve himself.

I just don't get that from Empty Inside's posts at all. She says she's changed... but how? Betrayed is giving her all of the attention she could ever have wanted, he's improving himself and working hard to save the marriage. But she should be working on the marriage. Looking back at her latest post, I still see entitlement and excuses.
