So tough, so heart wrenching, so painful. I see it as a positive though. You guys are in that space where you are comfortable sharing these things. Although there are things that could have been done differently, a lot of good came out of that. A lot of understanding, and a lot of connection drawing closer. I'm guessing thats why you say you wouldn't take it back, why should you. You progressed.
Sometimes it is difficult and this is a hurdle in the journey to rebuilding intimacy. You are getting closer and growing. Sometimes those explosions are helpful to clear the other debris and actually start from where you are now. Like a forest fire brings new life to the land.
