Need advice - mentally exhausted

Name changed for this as outing.

I seperated from my husband 7 months ago after 19 years together. We have two small children, 4 and 2. We were both unhappy and honestly the relationship changed massively after the children were born.

When we seperated I moved out as he wouldn't. In the first 3 months I felt confident in my decision to end the relationship. It helped as he wasn't being very nice to me in all honesty so absolutely believed I was doing the right thing.

Fast forward to now....we have been getting along better and communicating and he has told me he would like us to get back together and work things out. I am so torn. I absolutely would love for our family to be back together however, will this end in tears? Again?

My mental space isn't great at the moment and I am constantly going back and forth on what to do. I love him but am I in love with him? I honestly don't know. Should I give it another go for even the kids sake to see if we can rekindle things?

Not even sure why I am posting to be honest. Just advice from anyone who has walked similar shoes.

Also to note, I can't say that I have been dramatically happier since I left. I like not having to answer to anyone but other than that I can't really find any positives.

Haven’t been in exactly the same position as you but it might be worth spending weekends together initially? See how it goes?

It’s definitely worth trying for the sake of the kiddies, I believe.
