While I admittedly have reservations about your husband, you are trying again with open eyes and are prepared to put yourself first if things don’t turn out as they should. Not everyone who decides to reconcile is able or willing to do that, so kudos to you, and good luck.
@RoxanneToto, thanks so much.... and I have reservations about my husband too, trust me. They're there and they are all valid. I am prepared for sure to walk away if I must. I am also prepared to dial down on some of my own idealistic thinking... I am very idealistic, and that perfect man just does not exist. Nor does the perfect relationship. That being said, I know where the lines are drawn and I will never put up with any abuse ever again. He needs to prove to me that he won't venture in that direction.
