It's been a year since my wife and I separated. We were together 9 years, married 5 of those.
In that time, we had extreme highs and lows. She ultimately joined AA because of alcoholism. She also cheated on me when she was at her worst. On my side, I'm the classic corporate sales high strung controlling guy.
We do have a 3 year old (50/50 custody). We are great coparents.
Now that a year has passed, a lot of our hurts and wounds have healed and we communicate much better. I sometimes wonder if we should go into counseling and try again.
We both are in our own counseling, although I'm in it a lot less.
I do miss her and even now we are very close.
But then I wonder about raw compatibility. Because she is sober, it was difficult for us to find a common social circle or events. Also, I'm "let's go do something" while she likes to Netflix and chill.
I'll speak with my therapist about this, but I'm looking for experience shares here about attempting to reconcile.
We have both dated since the separation but neither of us are in anything serious.
Tl;dr Working through thoughts of reconciling with my wife.
Edit: she's been sober 4 years now.
