PLEASE READ MY WIFE AND MY EMAIL THREAD FROM THIS AFTERNOON:

Wife: Are you ok?

Me: I'm trying to stay positive and trying to focus on being supportive. Are you ok today?

W: I'm ok today. I know that you think I don't care about you, but I do and I'm worried. I know this is hard on both of us, but just remember that it will get easier with each day. I know that at this time it doesn't seem like it will, but it will. I want to continue on our relationship even with all of this. I haven't stopped caring, just that I've been hurt and need to work on myself too. Don't cry...

Me: I am glad you are ok. Thank you for letting me know you still care. I really appreciate you telling me.
When you say you want to continue on our relationship even with all of this, do you mean as in a "couple"? I just want to make sure I am not misunderstanding anything. I realize you have been hurt and that's why I'm working on myself too, so I can be the person on the outside that I am in the inside.

Wife: I mean as friends right now. I can't make promises about what will happen down the line, that is something we will have to wait and see. We both need to work on ourselves.

DOES ANYONE SEE HOPE IN THIS? THE FRIENDS ONLY COMMENT IS KILLING ME.
