Well Di, that is news! You had a R talk that didn't go south! That's pretty fantastic, actually. I'm happy that you brought up IC with him. If you guys are taking it slow, but with the idea of being back to a full-time couple, I highly recommend MC. There are some issues there that haven't really been addressed.
You don't want to be a part-time wife/booty call, right? If you do, that's fine, and completely your business, but that's not what I understood from you. I thought you wanted a full-time spouse willing to put you first once in a while.
I don't see how he's going to go from the couch to helping you without the benefit of a third party helping him recognize his behavior. As much as I love, miss, and long for my H - no way on this earth would I take him back without a firm commitment to attend MC on a regular basis. I never want to wind up in this position again, ever!
I'm really excited for you, though. That is a HUGE step in the right direction! I don't want to rain on your parade when I'm only trying to advise you to be cautious. It sounds like you already are, based on what you've shared about your talk.
Look at you! Providing hope to us all. Thanks, Di.
