I'm not sure we are quite here yet, but after moving out for a few days H called me in tears and wants to try. I feel like the hard part is just starting. How do I stay patient, distant and all that stuff, when what I really want to do is hug and kiss him. I know he isn't ready for that. I have been really good at not pressuring him up until this point. I am very nervous about messing this up.

Yesterday he said he was scared and what if we don't make it. I said I am taking it one day at a time. We talked a little about when we first met, and he said what happened to us? I said we got lazy. H said yesterday that he hates going to his place, but he is not ready to be here (our home), he misses the kids terribly, that is mostly what has brought him around. He did say he misses stuff about us as well.

We will go to counseling for sure, probably both joint and individual. I think we should think about dating.

so I need advice and help to not screw this up.

thanks
