My Small Positive Steps in the Journey of a Thousand Miles:
1. W agreed to a date with me - which turned out into an almost 12 hour event which we both thouroughly enjoyed. 2. W has been complementing me on my looks, is attracted to me. Starts to be protective of me, when in public. 3. W is relaxed around me - we joke and laugh constantly 4. W is able to clearly and objectively look at her past relationships and have a sense of closure, knowing they are over and that they were diversions in her journey. 5. W expressed a desire to immediately start individual councelling to help her deal with personal issues. 6. W has learned to respect herself sexually - The meaningless one-night-stands may very well be the thing of the past. She contantly demonstrates how responsible she has become in that regard. 7. W is starting to make our D more of a priority, she misses our D more and is open to spending more time with her on the days that D is with me (something she NEVER did in the past). 8. W has been calling me frequently to chat about everyday matters. She confides in me and has become much more talkative than she used to be in the past. 9. A lot of past guilts and hurts have dissolved. We are able to talk about the past with a sense of relief and understanding that we have forgiven each other. 10. My relationship with W's family has greatly improved. W is not nervous about inviting me to meetings with her family. MIL enjoys my company and shares personal matters, which I had been excluded from in the past.
