Yes he did come home and leave a few times. At first I was really upset with him. As time went on he kept telling it was about him and not me. He had to fix himself first before coming home. I told him that I didnt want him home until he was really ready to commit fully to me. This is when he was staying at the barracks at the prison where he worked. Now that I look back, I think it was the best thing for him to do. He needed that extra time to get through the rest of MLC.
The steps in piecing began before he came home. He would call me all the time and we would talk like we were dating again. He would come over alot and we would go and do things together.
We both talked alot about what we went through. It was hard for me to hear alot of the things he told me. Yes, I wanted to know.
As far as the resentment, I had it in the beginning and for a while after that. He kept reassuring me that he was done with that part of his life and we, together moved forward.
Like I said before it will pop back into my head every once and a while but not as much as before. Its kind of fading but I guess it will always be there....
