I originally posted in the "separated-now what do I do?" forum. After recent events, I am optimistically thinking I should be in the "piecing" forum.

Here is my original thread Should I Stay or Should I Go?

I need help. My H said this week that he wants to take baby steps toward R...pretty exciting, right??? Well, we are having difficulty just spending time together because we just keep rehashing our issues. I am giving him space and time which is what he wants. I am telling him I will change and try to do whatever I can to make him happy but he doesn't believe me. Our MC has advised us to "date" a couple of time a week without discussing our problems. We got together last night and at several points in the evening, it felt like a disaster because we both brought up subjects that we shouldn't have. My feelings get hurt. He gets angry. My H says that I don't listen to him. I think I try to find ways to reconnect with him and he sees this as pushing. How do we get past our frustrations so we can spend quality time together and help to rebuild our relationship?
