What exactly is the difference between the two R's? I've chosen to stay...I am trying to accept that this is our new normal...we don't fight...there is a lot of love.

But I don't know if we are in recovery or reconciliation...how do I know where we are. You all seem so sure!

I've never considered this question before but perhaps recovery is personal and reconciliation is marital. Does that make sense? You can (and will) recover no matter what, but reconciliation is a choice you both have to make. :)

I just hear so many people say that they are reconciled but not fully recovered or the other way around...

It's confusing to me...but what you said made sense. I guess we are reconciling and recovering still. Just so difficult to figure out just what stage we're in.

Giving time time is proving to be difficult...

Hugs and thanks!
