Here is the wife's list. She said she was just free writing, not purposely trying to make Cons list longer. Some issues had started to be remedied but as she said we had some triggers that had her revert back a couple months to a lot of her older feelings from when we first separated.
I do not see anything that would be a deal breaker to me. Her want list and my want list are very similar and would help us work through a lot of the cons on our lists.
PROS kids/family stable talk/conversation trying knows me (kinda) safe know him (kinda) no divorce stigma not alone still care had good times too
CONS money issues intimacy issues past 10 years projects no consistency trust issues home town forever love my own house don't know if I can live with him can I forgive all? miss family & friends so angry & sad last name back everything a battle 10 months apart I know I can move on hate splitting holidays could move someday
WANT equal input, output, shared romance fun socialness freedom space dream not be alone not be controlled my wants, likes, preferences valued to be in love, feel love not compromise on all - I want to win a few
