LIS I wanted to answer your questions back on your thread instead of hijacking 2steps.
What are your conditions before he comes home? Counseling? Transparency? Dating for X months?
Moving from friendship back to romance is a tricky phase IMHO. If you haven't thought about what you need, definitely do so now. You probably won't be able to just list the requirements for him, but as things move along, definitely ask for things here and there. If there was an OW, that makes things a bit more touchy as you'll also have to deal with the withdrawal from the A and he'll be just as moody as if he was withdrawing from a drug.
That was a depressing post for me bc it applies so much to my situation too. Not feeling too patient right now I guess.
