My WAW has had a change of heart and has come back to the table ready and willing to give this another shot.
She moved out in October and her lease runs another 6 months, so we plan to take this time to 'date' and rebuild slowly. We have identified a counselor and will start in Feb.
I have a date with her tonight!! :-)
We made a few 'rules'
1.) No talking about the past unless its pleasant memory 2.) No talking about divorce 3.) No criticism, a commitment to treat each other with respect
Anything else I should be aware of? I still have plenty of unhappy feelings I need to sort out, but easily put on the back burner for now. I am just concerned when/if they come rolling out. We will keep all heavy relationship talk to counseling sessions, but accidents happen and I really want to avoid shooting myself in the foot.
First step is tonight - I want it to be a good one! Any suggestions?
