I've just started reading through your post and it does sound allot like my sitch.
Married almost 25 years,together 27,both christians.
Wife needed space,has been unhappy for some time,which was news to me,felt smothered and controled.
W Filed for D,I found DB and started reading DR,working on GAL,180,LRT.
Since I have backed off she is now calling and inviting me over,dinner out last night and then asked me to watch a movie with her at home,left at 1:30 am.
Calls me this morning tells me she's making blueberry muffins and ask me to come join them.
I am just playing it cool,no R talk,no pressure,letting her call the shots.I know she has seen changes in me,at times I am tempted to ask questions,I miss holding her so much,but I am taking it easy and noticing the baby steps.
She used to not even contact me,then she would usally text me,now she usally calls.
It feels like things are changeing in her,I know she is being cautious and watching and waiting to see my old jealous untrusting ways come back,but I will not let them.
I have put her and our M in Gods hands and praying and trusting that his will be done in this M and family.
I catch myself starting to think negative or fear the worst,but I am reminded to have faith not fear,to trust not doubt,I have to walk what I believe and not just talk it.
