The threads I'm watching aren't having much activity so I may as well post on my own :-)
I am thankful that my sitch is resolving with my M intact and with a lot of optimism for a better R. I am thankful that my sitch was not nearly as hard as many on this board. I'm thankful for finding this bb, and for grasshopper, toughlover, 25yrMlc, cat, and all the others who helped me. I'm thankful I've had the chance to help a few others, and for the opportunity to help more. I'm thankful for the MC we had. I'm thankful to my W for somehow sticking around, even when she said she didn't want to.
I think it works: DBing works. I think GAL, PMA, detaching, realizing it's not about you, letting go of what you can't control, works for making you a healthier person and is the best chance for saving your M.
Now I'm in a weird place, and I feel a little guilty for sharing this but good news can give hope to others, where my wife flirts with me, is affectionate, and MLs to me, with me, around me when we are together (which isnt' much since she lives in another state now). It's weird because it happened so fast. In late October, I had almost decided I couldn't do this any more. The only reason why I didn't call the L was because I wanted to sleep on the decision. Suddenly, early November, my W changed. She loved me, wanted me, wanted to make me happy, was thankful I had stuck around. The weird part is how fast it's happened. I'm still shocked, and a little nervous.
I hope the rest of you experience something like this soon. I'm not ready to say I've busted my D, but I feel I'm close. I look forward to posting a success story here. It can be done.
