Thanks, KAW. I really appreciate the insights. And believe me, I read through your entire thread. I just wanted specific answers to my questions given your experiences. Interesting...

Afterall, what good is it for her to decide she's in love with you if you haven't reached the point to be able to forgive and accept her love.
I know I need to forgive. Actually, even though she kind of went wierd on me yesterday, I feel like I'm on my way to forgiving. It'll take some time, and naturally I feel anxious about the whole thing, but I'm working through it. She's asked me more than once if I will ever forgive her. Similar to us, me "telling" her I forgive won't change her insecurity regarding forgiveness. I have to just behave as though I've forgiven her. I'm finding this easier.

Do you think your ability to forgive your W specifically drew her closer to you. In other words, do you think she was so moved by your efforts and forgiveness that it helped change her heart?

Thanks, KAW.
