4 years, 7 months and counting. While I wouldn't exactly say we're "piecing" quite yet, things are more positive now than they've been in that entire time.
We went for almost 2+ years of that with minimal contact only regarding our now 5 1/2 year old and plodded along with filing for divorce. Over the summer he began reaching out, but ran back into the tunnel pretty quickly. About 8 weeks ago he began reaching out again and 5 weeks ago he said he'd like it if we worked things out and wanted to know if that was an option. We're taking things very slowly.
I had given up hope years ago but hadn't gotten over him yet. "Giving up hope" isn't really even the right phrase. It was more like it faded slowly over time into acceptance of the current situation. Don't let having hope or not keep you from living your life right now though. You don't ever have to shut the door totally until *you* want to and are ready to.
