I googled it, and plan on reading up more on it. Mirroring, Validation and Empathy - all things I have never done. It had ALWAYS been who is more to blame. Me repeating OVER AND OVER everything I think he did to get us where we are and him doing the same to me. Neither of us ever backing down.

Right now he wants space and a break from talking about it. He is convinced we would never work and he cannot forgive. Would it be a good idea to try talking now? Or wait for opportunities to arise and handle them better this time?

I plan on truly trying to forgive him for the past 5 years!!!
