Sara,
He has agreed to go to Retrouvaille and I am actually in the registration process right now. The weekend we will go is in mid October.

We have had a great week together. Having fun with our little daughters, laughing and telling jokes like old times.

We have been watching the old Dr. Zhivago. We have both really enjoyed it, except that the adultery scenes are painfully too close to our story. Ugh. It is most painful that Dr. Zhivago deeply loves his mistress, who is a good woman. His wife is also a good woman, and he cares for her, but all his passion is wrapped up in his mistress.

Yeah, so what. I am sure I could go have a passionate romance with another man, too. But what's the point, going for thrill after thrill? I am cynical. I don't know at all what men want, or what actually keeps them satisfied. Probably our life would be a lot more content if he went blind.

Things are going steadily well. I continue to watch and wait for him to initiate R talks.

If he lets me down again I will be so crushed. I can't believe I had to endure the stupid affair, all the anger over the OW and now I have to pick up and stick my heart on the line again. I definately trust God. The problem is with man.
