Well first of all, I know you really want to hear from W and what she has to say about all of this R stuff, but stop calling the W best friend... She may not be potraying what your W says accurately, and remember all things said are often said in the heat of emotions and may just be her working out problems by talking them out. Everyone goes from good to evil thoughts in their heads when trying to work out issues. Also, even if it was the sweat that drove her away, that is an underlying symptom for something that is bothering her more. Remember the ILYBINILWY is not what is really wrong with your marriage, it is a side affect of other issues. If it really bothers her that much she could have approached it in a much nicer way, like getting on top! Haha, just had to throw that in...
It's purely OK to come here and vent, I'm sure hearing that threw you for a complete loop! but it is not truly the issue, remember that. I knew you would rein yourself back in to DB! and you did with the next post...keep on going on the lovedb train.
I'm glad I can inspire you to think of how to make things better slowly, keep testing and monitoring!
And if she picked up on your LRT'ing and is laughing, touching albeit small bites, but she is, that is awesome. Keep looking for those small things. I noticed my H kept commenting on small home things, that we had to do or fix, when he began to slowly see the light. Keep up being that sexy cool fabio-maned lanzo! It honestly seems like it is slowly working.
