periwinklepainter Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Not sure if this will work... we are 20 years in the fall, started typical young, stupid and in love. 3 almost grown kids later, we just really have grown up and fortunately have grown mostly together. I just am having a hard time letting go of our tough past. My needs were not met for the vast majority of the time and I had repeatedly asked, clearly for what I needed. I am bitter. I gave what he needed. I was too child focused, no confidence, thought I deserved it, etc. to have the balls to leave. He has admitted that this is all true btw, in the last month. Now, older, wiser, just want to start over... maybe date each other? I love him, but I need to start fresh and be clear on what I want- as does he. He has really come around, he wants me, wants our marriage, wants to work on it, is very sincere, is wonderful. He is going out of town for work soon for a few months, will come home only on weekends... seems like the perfect opportunity for a "break," some thinking time, etc. We are seeing a therapist for the first time together, tomorrow night... I am going to bring this up... Am I on the right track?
