Yes! As part of my growing I never want my old marriage back. I see the things she did not like, i see things i did not like. It is almost crazy how clear things are now to me.
This is right on. As much pain as all of this has caused for me and my family, I have asked myself would I take her back now if she said she was willing to return. I don't think I would right now without working on setting a new foundation. One where we can be friends first. Where we can both be individuals and where we could recreate common ground for a lasting MR.
I just hope there is a time in the future where the anger from her will subside so we can have an opportunity to try a friendship.
Thank you otw for your insights and for applying wise advice. Seeing you down the road where I want to walk towards gives me hope in these dark moments early on.
