For the people that succeeded in rekindling the relationship, did you do anything different to this method and approach? Did anyone sway completely off course and still succeed?
I used the gift of time to make permanent 180s. For me, that meant learning to stop arguing, validate, and actively listen--while still continuing to be assertive. I accepted there was no going back to anything like the way things were. I hope you can let go of that notion, too!
We had underlying issues that rekindling things for a year ultimately couldn't resolve.
