I have been thinking about your post all weekend. It brought back memories of a conversation that my husband had with me on February 15, 2008. It was a long conversation. He too realized he had made mistakes. He wanted to know if we could start watching TV together, etc. (He has lived at home throughout his whole MLC.)
All I can tell you is that almost 18 months later things have improved. This past week I have seen parts of the "old" husband again. We actually spend the evenings together four nights a week. We don't have dates but we both put aside the time to watch TV together. If he's not going to be at home for the evening (i.e. he has band practice or something special to attend) he lets me know.
I wasn't ready to even watch TV with him for a long time (about 6 months). It takes time for everyone to heal.
Anyway, not meaning to hijack, it just sounds like she could be peeking out of the tunnel. I hope that the tunnel trip is much faster for you all than it has been for us.
