Don't know how to say this ...

It's an unusual case, but I know another person (a doctor, no less) who left a psychologically abusive relationship for about five years, but has since reconciled with him, and they're now happy together (as far as I know). Could be that seeing her stand up to him, and leave him, triggered some serious self-assessment on his part. He had initiated the reconciliation with an unsolicited acknowledgment and apology for his past misconduct. And the time off let her grow in strength and self belief.

Well, good luck. And in fact,CONGRATULATIONS.

Thank you, Zen! Your analysis hit the nail on the head, in this situation as well as that one. I couldn't have explained it better.
