I wish my sitch had the same ending as yours. Keep up that great DB work. If I found this site when my W and I separated in May for a week, I may still be married.
The difference in your sitch and many others is that your wife really seemed open to reconciliation in a short amount of time. She met your 1/2 way and kept the door open a bit.
Hound, you are an inspiration. Nice work, both of you.

Thanks all! The road is certainly difficult for each of us to avoid the traps that we feel into before. However, the difference this time is that we are both trying to make it work. I strongly suggest that y'all go get Gottman's book to suppliment Michelle's information. It has been very helpful to both of us.
I am pulling for each one of you good luck!

The worst reconciliation is better than the best divorce
My IC suggested to me just yesterday to get Gottman's book. I just have such a plethora of books that I didn't want to add another to my overflowing nightstand. I guess I should look into it.
Good to see you back with your positive updates! I'm so happy for you and the example you two are setting for your boys!

Sounds like things are going well. It's awesome that your wife met you 1/2 way. In the end, that is the real challenge.
I am doing much better. Starting to enjoy single life. Yesterday I played golf (in NJ!!!), had dinner with friends and played poker until midnight. Not a bad life.
