Thank you all for the replies, I did not expect this thread to blow up lol. May allah bless you all and reward you.
So just to give some clarification on how we met etc, my family got the proposal from their family and we didn't hear back from them. We coincidentally met on a matremonial website and she knew a family member of mine so I got her involved. So after we started talking for a long time we then agreed ok let's prgress things with the family and do it right, and at the point she said let's go our seperarte ways. So yes, even though it was a weird way we met each other it was going to the point to get wali etc involved, this time round if I do approach her it'll be done the right way.
As for the comments about desperation, if I was desperate I would've married the first person who came my way and been married 2 years ago. There is a big difference between desperation and knowiing what you want. Prior to meeting her for the first time I did do Istikhara, and I had good vibes and had no doubts in my mind at all - I can't say if she did it as well as I did not ask.
Anyhoo, again thank you all for the comments I really do appreciate it. I think in this blessed month I will do some self evaluation, seeks Allahs guidance and take things from there.
