I think things feel a little up in the air for you, because you two are basically at the "dating" stage again.
that is to say, "pre-commitment" dating. But hey.. that's exactly where you were targetting to go, as a "first step". you're doing great!
Sounds like you did a great job on the PMI during the concert! way to go!

A little update on my situation, since you asked a while back... (ok, a long one...)
last week was our 10th anniversary. She accepted an invitation to dinner, without me mentioning/begging "this is our 10th please come out with me". We had a nice evening. (at a verrry fancy restaurant. she initially fussed about not wanting to get all dressed up. but when I let her know the reservations were all set, she came anyway ) I gave her some small tin toys in the morning, with a small card. but I didnt bring up anniversary for the dinner at all. We had an enjoyable dinner together. The last thing she said to me that night, as she walked through her door, was "happy anniversary". I was stunned. [although I didnt take that in any way to mean she was at all thinking about reconciling, or reversing our separation]
The next night, she had to be around where I worked, so she offered me a quickie dinner on her way back. to "return the favour" from a previous time.
I had the kids on the weekend.. wasnt sure how things would go, but when she came to pick them up and have dinner, I ended up giving her a backrub, etc. before she left. last wednesday, was the last time she picks up kids from our house on wed. (start of school messes that up). but she had a "quick" lunch together with us. yesterday, we took our children to meet the teachers, in preparation for first day of school. that was a positive thing.
And lastly.. she accepted my suggestion to do something brief together with our children this weekend, even though it is "her" weekend.
Seems like a really positive week for everyone I'm "following" on here. it's really nice. Previously, seemed like there were a few weeks where things were bad for everyone.
Every time I write about positive things online, things go to $#@$#. I hope this time is different.
