Perhaps there is hope.

[PERSEVERANCE]

It's been a while since I've posted.
Back from Afghanistan now nearly two years, my divorce is two years old too.
Busy taking care of my two teenage Boys, house, dog while maintaining afull-time job in investment banking and my military reserve obligations.... Hectic.
My ex wife ( we were married 17 yrs) has started to communicate with me. We are in a custody battle ( the kids live with me and want me to have full custody) - she is fighting it.
We met for coffee last night... god I still love her.
I'm willing to forgive the horrible things that were done and said. We ended up holding hands, crying and hugged.
She is coming to the house to have dinner with us.
When I mention reconciling... She said that a lot has happened and she needs to process everything.
I've been seeing a therapist , running marathons , dating a sweet, beautiful woman....keeping active and busy with my "new " life
I want my wife back though. Is it possible, or common to reconcile after a few years of harsh battling and divorce? Any advice?
