despite whatever his faults, they are overlooked but when said guy over the years gets put on the W's sh_t list, then there are enough terms (controlling, passive-aggressive, smothering, abandoning, etc, etc) that no matter how much the M has improved, fault can always managed to be found.
That is my situation too. Hard to know what to do. I like the idea of taking it slow without pursuit. Is there a way to suggest getting together some without it appearing to be a date?
I would test the water if I were you. The only thing is to have no expectations. That is the difficult part. If she pulls back then you do to. We need no further rejection or hurt.

with is that with all the behavioral improvements I've made over the past year and a half, it's still in my nature that the more I'm told I can't have something, the more I want it. Guess I just love a challenge
I can really relate. I look at my changes and wonder if they are really changes or just rediscovering parts of me I suppressed for whatever reasons. And I still see so much left to change I wonder if I really changed after all. Just last week someone at work made a joke about me being sarcastic. Uggg....
