BD, I think these steps are encouraging! We can't predict the future, but if your H commits to you and you 2 work it out, and then 5 years from now he flips out--something tells me you won't be "putting up with it!" Is that right?
I wish we could believe our spouses when they tell us "til death do us part" and "for better or worse" but I just can't believe anyone ever again.
As for you guys, IMO, I think you will be asking tough questions during MC and you will not just take him back blindly!
I am so happy at this point while holding my breath...not because I don't believe you are able to reconcile but am trying to see if HE will be strong enough to follow through!!! I HOPE SO!!! You guys have been able to bond together with your son despite the sitch. I am envious! Keep posting-- I wonder if Piano is just being protective of you and cautious? Is that right, P?
