Our plan was to tell our kids about our separation this weekend after my W returned from her solo road trip, then she was going to move out the following weekend. Yesterday I get a text message from her saying "I've been thinking alot about things. A lot. We need to talk when I get home." I took that as a potential positive sign. Then tonight when she called, after talking to the kids, she said to me, "I've had a few epiphonies...mainly that I am an a**hole. I think there's hope.....that is, if you can forgive me." I said that my forgiveness would not be a roadblock to moving forward. She comes home on Friday. I hope I haven't just hit a rollercoaster peak and am about to go screaming downhill at 200 MPH.
My plan....to hear her out...listen, listen, listen.....and try not to get too emotional. She's been on the MLC train since March, but officially dropped the bomb in October. Is this too soon for her to figure out what's she's done? Everyone seems to concur that MLC can be a 2-5 year process, or more. Any thoughts would be welcome as I'd like to not mess this up if it's a real opening to putting our M back together. L7
