Now this is the hardest part of the journey, the forgivness and the rebuilding.
This is the part where we truly have to work on the rebuilding of a new relationship and learn from our mistakes of the past regardless of what that past was.
It is also a rollercoaster of emotions because after learning how to detach we now have to learn how to reattach.
The I Love You's will come in time.
My Husband was actually the one who said it first. It took me several weeks to work up the courage to say it back to him. I was so scared of rejection and putting myself out there again.
It really can be alot of fun rediscovering each other and making this marriage work again.
I don't know too much about your sitch I have read bits and pieces. Maybe you could post a brief intro so that all of us here could know where you have come from and what you have been through.
Not to be forwards.. BUT There is also a great book that really helped both my Husband and myself. It is called Venus and Mars in the bedroom. This was a really great tool for helping in the reconnection.
Anyways, I wish you well on this new adventure. It will be fun and you can make it wonderful as you rediscover your wife and learn to love and respect one another again.
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
