First let me say very strongly I am not trying to be mean or put you done, I believe it has taken alot for you to post here, and share...and thank you for that.
But I feel that what is lacking here is maturity! You need to grow up! This is something I know because I have had to do it over the past year! The love and romance you are looking for doesn't exist except in some romance novel. What you are building now is whats real, whats true, and it will be better then something you had with the OG. This man who you are married to, who you say you have no desire for...he has proven again and again what a truly good man he is, he has fought long and hard to bring you back, he is still there with you despite everything that has happened! Does that not show you something. My H and I have also done the retrouvaille weekend, and we are continuing this by going to core. It has changed so much for us. What Sara said is true, your marriage after retro is so much better, its different, its more mature. Give him a chance, decide to love...it is a choice! Look at him and see him for the good man he really is and not the ideal you have in your head, because no man can match up to that!
