See, he has told me that he was SO unhappy when he left, and thought he was making things better, but in fact they got worse. He's been the most unhappy person this past year. But he still hasn't told me he loves me in a very long time, and he said if we lived together right now it wouldn't be a good idea because he's "not good for anyone right now."
Yet I see him a couple of times a week; he comes over, is helpful, and he calls daily now. Our separation is very amicable as I said, thank God. And he talks about a future with us buying another home together, but he seems to think it might be a year away. He definitely isn't underestimating the time he says he needs on his own.
I am just moving forward as best as possible after such a devestating year, and am thankful we are still not divorcing. He says he doesn't want or need that; just time and distance right now.
Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
