I did it

OK, I finally got the nerve up to tell Bill that I wanted to try again.  Alright, so I didn't do it to his face, but still.  I emailed him.  Tonight we met for dinner and he was highly emotional.  We didn't talk about it much, but I think I can tell that he wants to try again too

Each time you talk about Joe, it is like you would talk about a teen. That last piece of story does confirm that definitely. You were TWO entering into the relation ship. You did not force him. And each time 2 persons start a story, there is a risk.
It did not work for several reasons due to BOTH sides. So he is hurt but you too. A separation is never something funny (or very rarely) and each is reacting to it his/her own way. Take it for what it is: A hurt man with a rather limited "understanding" who handles with such situation like a teen would do. Bring it back into perspective. You are also hurt and he should also feel crap for several of the things he did to you. It is soooo easy for him to take over the role of the poor and innocent victim!
However, if it helps him getting over more rapidly, just let him do that but do not take it on you. In all cases, no need to loose time in trying to make him understand, he cannot.

Regarding Bill, you do it right girl. That's also the way things are going on for me with Marc now. Slowly but surely, we get closer and closer. We do not push and not all issues are solved. But the final objective is clear for both of us: Be together again.

Side question: You wanted to wait that he is over with the alcool issue?

Take care and keep smiling. Try to remember daily about the things that are good in your life. To do that helps me a lot to avoid being suck in the dark pit under my feet.

Oh, I know. We still need to discuss the drinking and the anger. But it's a step towards what I know I want.
