I have been thinking of posting so I guess now is as good a time as any. For those that want the back story, or a refresher. Yes, we are together again.
In September his XW was divorcing her husband and the kids wanted them to get back together. We had been dating one year. They have been divorced 7 years. He spent September and October talking with her and they decide to reconcile to raise the children. (they are older) They made plans for her to move up where he lives and live together. This was end of October. I made plans to try to move on. It was over by mid November. He has been reflecting on what happened and feels like a fool.
He did not contact me. I send a short email to him saying Merry Christmas. He said the same back to me. He told me I was right it did not work it was horrible. He did not ask to see me first. I said I would love to see and talk with him if he ever wanted. He did want to see me, So we meet, talked, made up and hopefully will live happily ever after. He feels like a fool for trying to make his kids happy in a situation that he feels he should have known would never work. He did not want to ever assume that I would want him back after what happened.
I do not feel he ever mistreated me. He was always honest about what he was trying to do and why. I know he felt like he needed to do this even at his own unhappiness. I told him I understand he needed to walk down this path and make sure there were no stones unturned. I feel like we stand a very good chance because there are no what ifs, or I should have's left in our way. We had a very open, honest relationship before with no red flags or any troubles. So I see no reason for this to not work for us.
Please feel free to ask questions or tell me I am making a mistake if you feel so. I did date a few men during our break up but could not make a connection because he has all everything I want in a man.
Yup, this. And if he pulls this sort of stunt again (not that I think he will), don't take him back again.
Sounds as though you will take things slowly, which is good!
Enjoy your NYE!
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
