Second Chances

Me and my man of almost 7 years and father of our 2 babies separated last year. Without getting into all the details, we both had faults and reasons. But this past year apart, I have learned so much about myself and was able to see some of my own faults that may have been part of the issues between us. I feel like on my end I am now able to reflect on this and be a better partner. I can't say how this time apart has been for him. We don't talk about it. But I can't help but wonder lately if we would ever be able to be happy together again. Where my mind is at right now, I want more than anything for us to work things out and have our family back together. But is it too late? Obviously this is something only the two of us could decide. But it wouldn't hurt to hear from others that maybe have been through separation. Did you ever consider going back? After how long did you try again? Are you happier back together? Or is it just another disaster waiting to happen?
