Obviously, I will never have blind trust again and no one should anyway. Through his IC, he has finally realized why he has done the things he has done and why he is broken. That is what is different this time. I trust him as much as I can beings we don't live together and don't see much of each other. I'm not going to spend my life following him around to verify. I verify periodically. That won't change if he moves back in until I feel comfortable again. Our primary communication is texting, which is every day.
What safeguards can I put in place now since we have been separated for so long? I have changed for the better, too. I know things would be different between us. The old M is dead and gone and that is a good thing.
I'm afraid to have a heart-to-heart with him again as perhaps I won't like what he says. Maybe he is still pining for FOW. I don't know. Perhaps he feels he is commitment-phobic and doesn't want to be married. I don't know.
