Relationship is over, still hope for the marriage???

My husband broke my trust again last week, and the way I see it, ended whatever relationship we had. It isn't "fixable", and I've told him from here on out any relationship, or friendship, will have to start from the beginning. I mean this as building a friendship to base our joint parenting on, I don't know if any future romance is possible...I don't know if I could leave my heart vulnerable to him again.

Talking with him tonight, he says he knows he destroyed whatever we had, but is hoping to find a "new best friend" in this relationship, and that he hasn't given up on the marriage. He says he knows there isn't any quick fix, and knows it's going to be a long road, but it's me he loves and wants to be with.

Am I cynical in thinking this may be an act? He's done half attempts at counselling before, and he is doing and saying different things this time, but why can't I believe that he can change?

you will never know the out come until you get further down the road there maybe a positive to this situation this could build your trust with each other again best of luck

I believe that actions speak louder than words in most cases. You can't believe him because his actions have shown you something different from what his words are telling you.

Going half way with counceling doesn't fix a thing. Continually breaking any bonds of trust is devestating to any thoughts or feelings of hope in the relationship.

Can it be turned around? That's hard to say. It depends on HIS actions now and YOUR ability/decisions as to whether or not to continue as a couple.

I wish you well!
