She tells me that she has already come to terms with it but I am struggling. Currently she wants us to carry on as normal and see if we can be friends first then she may let me back in but I’m not sure if this so I can adjust to the idea. I feel so ashamed that I have caused this, that I cannot bring myself to tell my friends or family. Should I just start preparing/making plans for a divorce or should I stick around hoping I can show her I can change? I can really do with some advice because I don’t want to be in this situation if their is no chance of a reprise.

I think many husbands would treasure the opportunity for the chance to show their wives they could change. If you know it's on you, and you love your wife and family, youd do anything for them. So do it. There are alot on here, who get left and are never offered the opportunity or chance to change or right their wrongs. Which in my opinion is an awful thing to do to anyone you love if you've never given them an opportunity before. To just leave them? Awful and heartless imo. It's sort of happening to me right now. My wife moved out over an argument although we are talking and dating now. But some wives leave and never come back. So here is your opportunity.
