We have both tried to stay civil towards one another but there are so many emotions raging.

I guess I'm just confused because it seems we are getting along better now and we both are so upset over it and miss and love each other. We both have made some changes that caused a lot of our fights.

Am I wrong for wanting to hold on? Am I just weak for wanting him back and putting a band aid on the feelings?

I am actually mad at family members and my therapist for making it seem like he is a horrible person and siding with me. They all seem to think I am SO much better without him and all I can think is.."yeah, but you aren't alone and crying all the time".

I don't want to go back to a bad situation but I also firmly believe we are meant to be together and I would never feel the same about anyone. I do trust him and love him, I just got tired of fighting. Is that reason enough to end a marriage?
Do you like fighting? I hope you don't take it the wrong way and try to justify staying with him if I point out that there are some people who can only express the value of the relationship by fighting. I am just stating what I have witnessed. I am not placing any judgements on anyone.

The goal should be mutually acceptable and minimally destructive to both/ all people involved. Those are my thoughts, so take what you like and leave the rest behind.
