He is trying to brush it under the rug, promising it will never happen again. Can you imagine that my h and I have done this dance for over 20 years?
Yes.... and the next time it happens, I AM divorcing him. There's no question about that. He's been warned, and he knows this.

He just seems to believe that he can make it all better now by treating me like a queen for a week. He doesn't understand that it's going to take a lot more than that. It's going to take consistent effort on his part, and permanent changes in his behaviors. I need to see more than just one week's worth of behavioral changes. It concerns me that this is how he is thinking.
