Starting a new thread. Despite a few minor setbacks, my wife and I are very close to ending our separation.

Part 1

Part 2

We are now at the point where we are dating, and hopefully in the next few weeks, moving from the 'Friendship' to the 'Romance' Stage.

She has told me she is committed to moving back into our home in March. YES! I will finally get the chance to show her the new me.

Stay tuned.....


Me: 54
Her: 50 and sexy as hell
M: 32yrs
T: 34yrs
Bomb: Sept 26-07 "lost our emotional connection"
Bomb 2: Dec 25-07 she's "not feeling desire"
She asked if she could come home Apr 26-08!
Everything's GREAT!

By the way.... you and I have already started piecing. It's not easy, but it's a lot more pleasant than STAGE 1 - ANGER.

Well, after her telling me to back off last night, I did nothing this morning. Usually I send a 'good morning' email.

Here's our email exchange this morning.

Her:
Hi
You asked me about jewelry. Changed my mind and don't think I want red anymore. It's too harsh. I really like those earrings you bought me recently and the bracelet you looked at the other night. I'll stay with that for now. Also clear pinks.

You've just bought me something very nice though-no more!

Me:
Damn. Now I have to return the ruby tiara.

You still like baltic amber though? What about amethyst (clear pale purple)?

Her:
Yes to all!
Thanks M

So, she has reached out. I CAN'T jump in like I always seem to do. I MUST hang back...play it cool, like my friend Fish ;\)

She scares so easily, I need to respect her feelings right now.

Mink - You are pushing. Be careful with the jewelry, she may think you are trying to buy her affection.

I have been a HUGE gifter over the years, not right now.

STAGE 3 - ROMANCE

Fish, I had asked her about jewelry last week, because she was wearing the aforementioned earrings. I just asked her if her tastes had changed, or if she still liked that kind of stuff. She said she would get back to me. I hadn't asked again. She brought it up this morning as a means of opening a dialog, I think.

The 'something very nice' she mentioned, is her birthday gift, she already knows what it is.

But don't worry....I am gonna cool it.

Laying back is paying off. She has called me twice today, both convos were upbeat and nice.

In addition, she sent me a few emails. It's usually me sending the first email of the day; today it was her.

So, she requested that I stop pushing, I did in a confident (not wussy) way, and we moved on.

We can all learn from each other as we move toward reconciliation.
