Wow, your update was more than I ever could have hoped for! It sounds like your reconciliation has been all anyone could wish--a growing relationship day by day.
My own was not quite that romantic--I must tell you that my H and I are a couple of tough nuts to crack--but I really think it is because he and I are so much alike. Hard and stubborn and just SURE the other one is more so. How foolish and wasteful.
We have had a major communication breakthrough in that we both admitted we want the same thing: a loving and passionate relationship, as best friends and lovers, with each other exclusively. So we are actively working on ways to achieve that, without hanging on to past hurts. In other words, we are finally ready--almost a year after he moved back!--to admit neediness and vulnerability.
Check in when you can. I will always assume no news means good news. I would like very much to keep track of you and hear how things go. Really, what you are experiencing now is absolutely awe-inspiring. I am happy for you from the bottom of my heart. I felt your pain for so long--and you mine, I know--that it is PURE JOY to hear you so happy!!!!!
