What could he want after all this time?

My husband and I have been separated for a while. He has not tried to contact me or the children in over a year. Suddenly he calls and apologizes to the children and me. He tells me he loves me but I am wondering why now? He seems sincere. Should I forgive him?

Update:

Movin out of PA you are definitely right!

    He feels guilty about hurting the kids and maybe you a little to. Only you know your heart and if you can forgive.

    Has he maybe gotten into a 12 step program? I'm in one and step 9 is to make amends to those you hurt. I haven't gotten divorced, yet anyway, but have made my amends to my wife and children. It's not an easy thing to do after realizing all I put them through with years of drinking, but things are way different today than they were a few years ago. So, did he have a problem with alcohol, or drugs, gambling, sex? If that is what ended your marriage then maybe you should talk to him about it.

    Don't jump back because of loneliness. Sit down and examine the reason. Did he leave you for another woman and is now alone with no one and has decided he'll settle for coming back to you guys? You'll need to sit and talk to him about all your concerns so you can get them out in the open and not wonder about them constantly if you do take him back.

    You should talk to your kids and give them a choice if they still want to talk to daddy but You should forgive him and forget him. Just let him know that he hurt you but that you are over that and that there's is no way he is coming back into your life.

    Absolutely not. He is just desperate and needing a quick lay. Tell him to not bother you. Good luck.

    You'll have history so you should at least talk but get back in a relationship. He might drag you down.
