Survivor, Great news about your H returning. Especially after being gone 1 and 1/2 yrs. You mean there is still hope after they are gone that long? Could you tell me what kind of contact you all maintained during your separation and did he let you know he was interested in working on the marriage throughout? My H has been gone a year with no sign of returning, so I'm at the end of my rope. Please let me know a little about your situation, and good luck with your new marriage. Trust will return in time, so don't push this issue with him right now. You are so lucky to have another chance at working things out, so go slowly and things will improve over time, I'm sure of it.
