Wow Sparks! The bit about falling into the old marriage and everything being the way it was sounds very familiar. It's a very hard question to answer, but I think you handled it very well. I have been asked that question as well and I always say "I don't want the marriage that we had and I would work really hard to make sure that I didn't not make the same mistakes again."

I have started to have the same kinds of doubts. I know that I will not be able to rush back into anything with him either if that is ever an option. I know that there are things about him that will have to change as well before we will ever be able to truly have a happy marriage.

I hope things go well for you in the coming weeks. I'll keep checking back so that I can see your progress!
