One of my previous correspondents told me to focus on what W is doing for me rather than what she is not doing, with this in mind I can see I'm still in the game. Here are some positives
W talks to me without the anger (occasionally it resurfaces). She will sit in the same room as me. She has let me share her bed again. (No touching of course) She walks past me after her shower wrapped with towel. (She used make sure I out of the way before leaving the bathroom). She doesn't cover up when I enter the bedroom and she's in a state of undress. She will sit with me at meal times and talk. (light stuff, she now backs off from R or D talk) She will cook meals for me. (After the bomb she told me not to touch any food in the house). She considers me when she buys the weekly groceries. She will give the occasional hug. (very occasional, no kisses). She will join me if I make suggestions (Shops, Coffee etc) She put a lot of thought into my Birthday & Xmas presents. She has said she would consider counselling. (last year she said no f-ing way) She has said she doesn't want to sell the house. She has discussed decorating the house with me. She did mention joint car insurance to save money. She lets me drive her new car. We brought a photoprinter together. (for shared memories) She does show concern for my well being on various issues. She still wants to do various family activities together with D6 She is now reconsidering the whole sitch After I said the M is over. She told me it's over with OM (I'm not convinced, see snooping note below).
At the moment the only danger to this steady progress is me. I snooped over xams and got caught, I apologised for invading W privacy, we discussed it and we move on. Although I think this will remain a big issue for W. That backslide could have cost me dear, maybe 2 months ago it would have, but I'm still in the game, still in the game and fighting for my M.
If anyone had seen this level of progress in there sitch but haven't yet reach the point where they can move to piecing, please share your experiences with me.
