Gosh, thats amazing B...I'm so heartened to hear the end of your story !!! Although as you say, theres a way to go, but its so wonderful to read of someones WAS agreeing to move back home and also to say sorry to you for all shes put you through.
That must have been an amazing but surreal moment, I bet there were times you never thought you'd hear those words. So happy for you.
Hooooorayyyy!! I am so excited to hear about what your W is doing, how she is moving closer and closer to you and taking steps to move back in!! That must have felt so good to have her back in your home and spreading her stuff around. Your success really lifts me up. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!!
We know that we have to take things slow. We haven't talked about counseling yet, but I plan on bringing it up. We both want this to last and not to go through this again. She apologized last night for putting me through this. She said that she's very grateful for me and that she loves me. She also wrote my mother a very nice email. It hasn't been an easy road, but she's finding her way back home.
Great news - Glad she's sticking to her decision and working on moving back in. I would anticipate some stress when she has to deal with OM.
I think I'm where you were last Tuesday - I doubt my W will come around as quickly as your's though.
Hi all. Thanks for the well wishes and encouragement.
I think that she's going to finally have the chance to talk to OM tonight. We'll see how it goes. I know she's pretty stressed out about it.
She's not wearing her wedding rings, but she is wearing a ring that means the same thing to both of us. She's told me that she wants a new ring, so I plan on getting her one as soon as I can afford it.
Peace To All, B

B, I'm eagerly awaiting your story. You have given us hope. I have been so down with my situation which is very similar: africa, peace corp, suspected OM. The only aggrivating issues are that she became violent, I filed a report and she went NC as if she was the one who was assaulted. Her family was putting pressure on her to leave for a while even though I've been a stable force in her family's alcoholic drama. But like you, I miss her so much. I really hope that you get to the point of C or maybe even Retro.. retreat. I'm wishing you all the best. Keep working at it.
