Think you made the right decision re;plea. You're on a roll!
I guess it was my idea, & still consider it to be a good one.
Last week I was talking to someone I was engaged to almost 10 yrs ago & we were talking about our breakup (he left). He told me that 6 months after, when he came by to drop off all my remaining belongings, he wanted to ask me if I would take him back, but was too afraid I would say, "No, too many things have happened". If he would have said that, I would have taken him back. So......10 yrs later I find that out. Whenever I would run into him over the years, I thought that was the case, just didn't ever hear it expressed.
My point is, why not take the chance? What's the worst that could happen? You get a D?
I agree w/ CVA & Nomo, keep up the WOA (the kids provide an excellent opportunity, like Nomo says). No pressure (;-/), just don't lose your cool at all during the next few weeks. I can see how far you've come just in the last few months..turn some of that charm her way & go dark/grey afterwards if you have to.
You don't mention what effect the Dui's had on her, I'm betting they caused a lot of anguish & if she doesn't show much emotion, you'd never really know.
Show her as much of the new/improved/responsible/strong man you have become.
I still don't think the OM is an issue, just a gut feeling o/c.
Think of some ways to do it, & run it by here 1st if ya can.
