You are correct. He is still miserable but says he thinks it's getting better. I am broken as well and have a lot of work to do on me. If he were to want to even come back right now I couldn't take it as I know it would fail again miserably. I just don't know if I try to be his friend or just go no contact. I know all he has wanted from me has been a connection but I have been shut down and unable to give him one.
I've been working on myself and am still working on myself. I just think that whether or not we ever get back together the healthiest thing for our kids would be for us to be friends and co-parent together. But I don't want him to be cake eating either. I think he wants a relationship but scared and doesn't see how the switch can magically flip and he can be in love with me again.
