I always read your thread because it is really helpful and inspiring to read about a successfully reconciled marriage.
My h was quiet for almost 18 months, unable to talk because of guilt and shame. I pressured for the first 6 months before I discovered DBing then I backed off compleately. Finally, 2 weeks ago he talked to me and he admitted to me that he missed me and didn't want to lose me from his life and we both agreed to be friends.
I don't know what I expected after that - fireworks perhaps and that he would run back and say that he had made a huge mistake... of course that didn't happen so it is back to patience
I just wondered if you had that crossover with your h where he released his guilt and if you had any advice about how you handled that?
