There are no easy answers here, and most of them you need to discover for yourself. But continue visiting this site and read threads from people. There is a lot of valuable insight here, and even if it does not specifically apply to your situation, its still very educational/beneficial.
It took a while for your relationship to get to this point, and unfortunately its going to take a while for it to get back to what you hope it can be. But the nice thing is, it could very well be stronger than ever before.
Of course, there are no gurantees. But like I said before, if you take the time to become a wiser person in regards to the nature of relationships, and make honest efforts to improve less than perfect traits of yours, you will be a better person for it.
Considering we both still live with our ladies, I have found that not talking about our relationship and just trying to be friendly and enjoy one another's company goes a lot further than emotionally draining conversations about our relationship. Its hard not to talk about it, and I frequently slip up...but it seems pretty clear to me that just trying to live happlily makes things alot smoother. Frequently bringing up the relationship adds pressure and makes us appear clingy and insecure - aka not attractive or appealing
