A friend of mine went thru a separation last year and was determined to get a divorce because her husband was vindictive, cruel and hard on their kids. Her soon to be ex changed his game and was super sweet to her and her kids, taking them out to restaurants, being wonderful to her and her kids and he got her back. When she went back to him he continued wining and dining her plus bought her very expensive jewery. He kept being nice then surprise surprise the honeymoon ended and he became his real self and now they bicker like they did before and hes back to being mean to his kids. I knew it wasn't going to last. Like the old saying goes, a horse cannot change its colors.
