What to say?

[walkingdead2018]

I have posted recently about my separation with my husband. We've been separated a few months now and things have been rocky for a while. We went to marriage counselling earlier in the year but didn't really continue it long enough and things declined again. And here we are now. I want to work on things with him but he's been unsure, not wanting to talk, needing space. But we have now agreed to meet and talk in a weeks time. The thing is I have no clue how to begin talking about everything. I really don't no idea what he is going to say or whether he's even going to want to try and salvage our marriage. How do I even begin? I have been trying to work on myself over the last few months, going to Counselling on my own. I was thinking about suggesting trying to date each other again? As over our marriage we have had very little time for 'us' as a couple with kids, work etc. We were never even able to go on a honeymoon after the wedding. Has anyone tried dating again in this kind of situation? Should I suggest going back to marriage counselling?

Im so sorry things have been tough. Tbh i think the first thing is to check he does want to give it another go, as with out him wanting it its never going to work. That is where i would start. x

Yes you're right, thank you. I need to try and stop overthinking it all.

Also - try not to expect too much.
From the little details in your post -
It doesn’t look like he is keen so work on anything.

I hope all goes well. You're obviously both very nice people. Take it slow, court eachother, a new start. Worth giving it a go, especially as you have children.

Good luck .

Thank you for the replies. I know, I am trying to be prepared for the worst but I haven't given up hope, though obviously I don't want to get my hopes up before I know more. He is aware I want to try so I think I just need to listen to anything he has to say first and go from there. It is difficult not knowing what is going to happen.

If he isn't willing to try as hard as you are and give 100% in order to try and save your marriage, it will not work. Don't waste your time if he doesn't give you his.

Yes you're right. I guess I will start with asking what his thoughts are now and go from there. Just can't help worrying between now and then as to what he's going to say.
