When to Let a Cheating Spouse Move Back (and When it Prevents Reconciling)

When a spouse says they want to come home after an affair, the relief can be overwhelming.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to know whether your spouse’s remorse reflects real change or fear of consequences
• Why rebuilding connection must come before living together again
