Hello I’m a 37F recently separated from my alcoholic husband who committed an act of violence towards a family member while being drunk. We are separated and undergoing a legal separation. I would like to consider reconciliation but due to a restraining order unable to communicate. A male friend has approached me with feelings for me. We both understand this would be with no strings attached. I am wondering if this would hinder reconciliation with my husband. Would you go back to your wife if she cheated during separation even if you were initially the one at fault? Should I just keep my legs closed. I have emotional needs not being met at this time and the road and journey my husband needs to go on will be long and arduous before I can begin to trust him again. Divorce seems impending.
