Oddly, I FEAR this kind of conversation from my H (although there's no contact with OW in a year, etc. my paranoid nature thinks he pines for her), and you jumped right in the boat like a MAN, a HUSBAND, a PARTNER, a TEAM MEMBER.
I genuflect! ha.
H did tell me recently that he misses having a "connection" with someone (i.e. he used to tell her they had one, and he feels he doesn't have one with me) but maybe he "wasn't meant to have one" - which all but SUCKED. I didn't say anything really b/c I was hurt and surprised.
I posted a story on my blog about when we were dating and a turning point for me with him. I sent him the link (b/c he doesn't read the blog anymore) and asked him if he remembered it. He emailed back that he barely remembered that. Sad. Anyway, not to veer off on my own road (zoom!)but I am glad for you. You are working it out, and you don't seem to be the only one in your M doing that anymore.
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Is 43:18-19
If it seems slow in coming, wait. It's on its way. It will come right on time. Hab 2:3
