So, the drive was incredibly thoughtful and therapeutic. I have overlooked something rather large.
On another thread here this morning, I found myself discussing the WAW/LBS dynamic. I believe I said something to the effect of, "If you want the WAS to come back, then eliminate any valid issues they had for leaving."
...eliminate the issues...?!?
We had issues?? Oh - like communication, finances and parenting? Those issues?
Crap.
I've been so focused on restoring the romance that I've been completely overlooking and neglecting the issues. And yes, that thing by which I am hoist does feel a bit like my own petard.
Yes, a number of my 180s - and his - are related to the issues, but I've been pleased with myself for 'doing the work' when really I've been chasing the fun part of things, namely the affection and the flirting.
