Magic, I wasn't the least bit surprised by your posting and your decision. I knew you couldn't let go and accept that maybe he wouldn't change.
I wish you well w/your "fun and exclusive" relationship w/your business partner. I hope that things will be better for the both of you, more so than the last 20 years. You both have had some time apart and who knows...maybe things will be better. However, I do want to caution you that things may not change and what then? Will you still be there gobbling up his crumbs of attention and be hoodwinked w/his promises of putting your name on the business documents as a partner or even being considered and treated as a partner?
My concern has been that you've never dropped the rope the entire time that you've posted in Newcomers or here and now you are going to be returning to a relationship that is a "convenience" for him and not one for the both of you. I ask that you please be cautious in what you agree to do and if your man doesn't step up to the plate this time around, then it's time to either accept him for who he is and it will never change or move on.
Again, I wish you well.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
