Giving it another go..?

[lazybonesmummy]

I've been separated from my partner of almost 10 years for 8 months. Since our daughter was a couple of months old. I moved out with our children.
We'd had a rough few years in our lives outside the relationship and it just crumbled. I started seeing someone else within a month of us splitting up.
We're considering giving it another go. We've had a couple of meals out and a few family days. I haven't moved back in or anything.

Please no judgement.

Has anyone else ever split from a partner and got back together, and it actually worked?

Why did you separate in the first place?

@jsvacation It was a combination of reasons really. I'd had a difficult pregnancy and it took its toll on me mentally and it was hard for everyone. I was really unwell both mentally and physically and said I wanted to abort the baby which he found hard as it was a much wanted baby. During my pregnancy he was doing everything eg working, housework, childcare. I then got severe PND. I think we both felt unloved, we bickered a lot. Both started messaging others. It was just very messy.

It would seem that one of the main problems in your relationship was lack of communication. You were both struggling but instead of coming together and talking to each other you sought comfort in other people.

Do you think the communication problem can be resolved?
