My mom often says, "The best predictor of the future is the past."
So, I need to go a step beyond looking at my situation from an outsider's viewpoint.
I find I need to wipe the slate completely clean and pretend that my husband and I just started dating over the past year that we've been separated.
If we are dating, several of my actions become ridiculous.
Me pushing him to hurry up and move in with me. Me pushing myself and him to begin having sex again.
Instead, I'd be doing my best to draw him closer and being the patient, kind, and understanding girlfriend. And I'd definately not be expecting anything from him as our relationship was so new.
