Davey
In a list of what’s most important to me, three things are right up there at the top. My kids, my husband Mack, and my career I’ve spent my life building. Unfortunately that career has me away from home more than I'd like, and when I refuse to walk away from it, my husband walks away from me instead.
Living together post-divorce makes sense for us, but it blurs the lines between what we were and what we have. Now that I’ve scored a big promotion and negotiated twelve long weeks at home, memories of our life together haunt me. They make me long for what we had. And now that Mack is moving on with someone else, I’m being faced with the cold truth. I should never have let Mack go, and now it might be too late to get him back.
Mack
Twelve weeks. It’s the longest Davey has been home since we had the kids, and all it does is remind me of everything I wish I still had. So I decide this is it. I have twelve weeks to remind Davey of everything he lost and hope like hell when I give him the choice between work and me again, that this time he chooses me.
None of my friends are on board with my plan, and the new guy in town is trying his hardest to win me over. But I can ignore cute notes slipped into my favorite books if it means getting back the man I’ll love forever.
All I need to do is remind him our life together was perfect.
Now if only our kids, our friends, and his work would get the memo…
Oh, the saga of Mack and Davy. These two just hurt my heart so much. They are so good together, completely in love with each other, best friends, and love their little family. But the thing that divided them was Davey's workaholic tendencies, and time away from home. When Mack made a hail Mary to attempt to get his attention and threatened divorce, he thought Dave would fight for them, but two years later, they are divorced, still living with each other as Davey's schedule allows, and still hopelessly in love with each other.
They are best friends and they still have chemistry and such strong feelings. Davey now has an extended time where he will be at home and Mack is determined to show him what he’s missing and hope that he will make the right choice this time.
Davey is not a bad guy, he just feels like he needs to provide for his family in this way, and it’s his way of showing love. It's also a big part of his self-identity. Mack sometimes can’t see past the fact that he just wants his partner and the father of his children home with them. So they’re right back in the same spot they were and this time they may have to find a resolution or there’s a chance that one of them may want to move on.

There are attempts at family fun and dates, slip-ups in physical affection, matchmaking plans, and romantic schemes. The Divorced Men's Club is right there offering cautious advice because they care about both Mack and Davey. It’s a sweet, heartfelt, hurt-comfort, opposites-attract, second-chance romance.
It's heartbreaking to see two people want the same things but are not sure of how to actually get there. And if they just stay in the same rut, they’re never going to get anywhere. So they’re both going to have to start thinking outside the box, understanding each other feelings, and actually communicating about them to have a chance of getting what they really want.
They were perfect for each other in so many ways and how much they truly loved each other. It was never about not loving, it was only about priorities and understanding the other's needs. Mack was so focused on not having the time together that he felt they deserved. And Davey was just taking care of his family in his own way. But they were just still stuck in their own heads on what they felt was right so they needed a shake-up to figure it out. I loved seeing them start to look more at the other's point of view and try to come up with different solutions to their same old problem. It's a journey to recapture romance and happiness individually and together as a couple and family.
I have enjoyed this whole series and I am sad to see it over but enjoyed getting cameos from the others and seeing them happy.
