Hi Nomopo,

Haven't had a chance to call you with all the work being done here, in addition to a toddler & teenager circling me, so I'll respond here while I have a chance.

I fully agree, keep in mind though, that if there have been any recent back slides or regression, that affects the outcome somewhat.
As I recall, you didn't start implimenting this stuff until a couple of weeks ago. Prior to that, there was some of the stuff that your W has a hard time with shown.

Also, when I told my H a couple of weeks ago that "it's impossible", he replied "OK, I can't stand to see you twisted all the time, so I'll do what ever you want me to do & finalize things". Not exactly springing back towards me in any sense of the concept.

I agree with you. There was conflict only a couple of weeks ago, not a long time really, to believe she wouldn't be returning to that.
I still don't hear her saying the D word, or did I miss that.

Quote:
Every bit of conflict we have had just reinforces for her that we were never meant to be together, that we're just too different, and that our M is impossible


I agree again. I do think that by backing off & telling her "it's impossible" she'll be more comfortable to move towards you freely if/when she chooses to.

Back after I get lunch going for the kids,
