Need a pep talk

[BryanS]

Well, Thursday night and things have gone well. Dinner Wednesday went very well, no talk about M until she initiated something riding back to the house. I answered her question and cut it off. Watched a movie at her house and ended up staying over (nothing intimate). This morning she called and said she enjoyed having me there in the morning and we made plans again for dinner tonight. Dinner went well although she was a little distant, distracted from work she said. I think she felt a little remorse/confusion after asking me to stay over last night. I think she talked to her friends (they want her out of M) and they changed her mind. Said she had to go back to work tonight so I said goodnight and went back to my hotel room. When she came to give me a hug goodbye, she looked up like she was going to kiss me but then turned away. Said something about being confused. I took this to be yet another good sign, at least she's thinking about it, but left it at that and said I'd see her later.

So, overall I think it's going very well, better than I had hoped in some respects. I've made a couple of mistakes, maybe pushed a little when I shouldn't have, but as a whole, I'm happy with how I've handled this. Without Michele and you guys, I wouldn't have stood a chance to save this marriage. By focusing on saving myself and my dignity, I may be doing just that. Thanks for everything.
