I think when she moved back in last year for a few months I suggested it - but in retrospect neither of us was in a place where we were truly ready to take certain things on. This time around feels notably different - so it may happen, Retro-V that is.
We have spent time together as a family mostly every weekend and we have engaged in some pretty honest talks....several of them, actually. More than anything, she is acknowledging and owning her role in the dynamic that tanked our marriage. Not only that but she has taken a look back into her past with her family and childhood to see how it contributed to her actions in our relationship. "Connecting the dots" as she calls it, helped her take steps forward.
We still have yet to cross any physical lines...not even holding hands or hugs, but I suspect that will come along in time if we stay on this trajectory. Time will tell, but we seem to be doing OK and going through the normal paces and emotions/feelings that come along with this stage....I think....at least my IC said so.
