Just reading along as usual. Things are not rosy....well they sound stable at least which is more than we could say 4 - 5 months ago. Sometimes we forget how far we came...it wasn't too long ago that even thinking about having your h in the apt. would be out of the question. I remember when we all started posting here and the veterans would say that DBing takes time...I think there was even a mathematical formula. Well, I imagine that piecing is no different....trust can not be rebuilt overnight. I am not sure I understand what remains "open" between you. As we enter a new decade, you are one of the few who has a real shot at reconcilling and moving forward with your spouse and your family intact. Not many here can say the same. I hope you can find inner peace in the new year. An inner peace that will enable you to slowly regain trust in your H and start shining again.
