The end of the other relationship and she felt she hadn't given us a fair chance.

Do you plan to remarry?
Already did and on the anniversary of our old marriage.
Hopefully you realize by now that it is really up to your spouse if you will ever have another shot. I fortunately did get one and it has been great. I'm very grateful to be with her again. Yes, you can lay the foundation for potential reconciliation, but nothing is going to happen in that regard unless she's willing to consider trying again for her own reasons.
We were able to keep a good post-separation and post-D relationship because she was willing to do so, for her own reasons. Hopefully that played a role in her considering trying again with me.
It wasn't always easy and I think it would have been really hard if there was someone she was physically involved with. But, we've smoothed out all the bumps in the past year and a half+. It is a lot more fulfilling this time around because I feel a level of commitment, on both sides, that maybe wasn't quite there before and also because she worked to make it this way. She did a lot of self-work and it really shows.
