As your W has been willing to do everything you have asked since dday, and seems genuinely remorseful, do you recognize anything special in that, because going forward in time your whole relationship will now be based on the time since - like losing all your old photos in a fire, all you have is the new photos you make, kind of like a clean slate if the remorse is true.
