Hmmm, so today I got a phone call from W thanking me for the flowers. I was still p/o'd from yesterday, so I was a little short with her.

She went to counselling this afternoon.

I did not come home directly and planned on arriving just before bed.

She phoned me and asked me to come home and talk.

I prepared for the worst. Instead her marriage counsellor told her that she could tell that I loved her a lot, and that she should not give up. In turn W phoned her best girl-friend and admitted to the PA (wow!)

We had a very long talk. I expressed what I needed from her comittment wise, to our marriage, that I would have difficult moments.

She told me that she needed more emotional closeness from me. I said that I would do that, regardless of if we were together or not, as I recognise that I am not perfect, and know that it will make me a better person, whether we are together or not.

There is more, but I am so surprised that this has changed for the positive.
