I bought it for my wife on VDay at the end of my pursuing extravaganza from Jan 1 - Feb 14 We never watched it, but I took it with me when I moved out and watched it the other night. It seemed to fit us to a T and I don't think she should watch it right now. Joe, your question is hard to answer, but I think that you have to start small and reconnect if possible and then you will know when it will be right. Not really an answer, but I know in my sitch its not right yet. We have to connect more before we are ready for this type of thing.
I agree with AnotherNightmare, that both need to be committed to working on R and I also think you need to restore the connection or at least partially before watching also.
