I understand that...remember I've been there, and so have many/most of the other BB members...you aren't alone
You say you've been at this for a year, but how long have you REALLY been working on things. I say we've been at this now about 18 months (from when I first trying to communicate things to my H)....if you were to ask him how long we've been working on this he would probably say a year next month. When did we really start to make progress? When we changed our counselor...this past February.
As for your date night...these are great things!!! Our C has recently suggested that for my H and I too. In the past we've used every excuse under the sun why we didnt' have time for it...our S, stuff around the house, we're too tired etc. We went out last Sat night for the 1st time in ages....and we had a great time! Talked like we used to when we were dating....if your W wants you two to go out as friends, then do it!!! You that's a very good indication that you two probably do need to rebuild the friendship in order to restore your R.
