Hi MAL - you're being such a good sport! Thanks for hangin around.
Yes, I've felt such a connection, that I can't explain, that's bigger than both of us. It was with the love of my life, my perfect match, my wonderful husband. Who, after almost 20 years of laundry, kids, chores, and habits, became the most annoying person on the planet and the man who hates me so much he will leave his two teenage boys to get away. You sound infatuated. It's wonderful, and it does not last long term. You're welcome to disagree, I really don't know you. But you are so sure you belong together and you want to make it happen.
You had communication problems. What have you done to learn how to do this better next time? What are you consistently doing differently that would have helped if you had only been that way back then?
You had a gap in sexual areas - that can create havoc after years of wearing at you. What do you know now that would make that different. What would you do differently? (I would suggest if you both decide to make a go of it that you should pursue counseling together - or may retrouvaille? So you can learn how to have a different and better relationship.
(Bear with me, he sounds wonderful, and so do you, but I think IF he becomes interested in pursuing another relationship with you, this is an opportunity for you to make it a better one.)
