Even though you haven't said it here, it seems like there was some form of infidelity involved that caused your separation; since he is trying to work it out...<p><a href="http://blog.beliefnet.com/areasontosmile/2013/03/qa-is-it-too-late-to-work-things-out.html">Read the full post here &raquo;</a></p>]]></description>
