OK, MM, everything looks good, she talks, she accepts dates, she can say ILY, but...
1. You say it's the hardest thing you've done. It still is really, really hard, isn't it? Makes you wonder how some fight through this when their W is having an A, still in the house, treating them badly. I'm lucky too. I'm just saying we're lucky, but it still hurts like hell. Still have to go through the process, and follow the basic strategy.
2. You've got me curious. You don't have to respond to this part, but what was wrong with your M? It sounds like you two are getting along well. What's the story? I'll re-read your first post, but I don't remember any "issues".
-- #2 is why I recommended that email/website.That guy talks about how you can still be in love, but have lost the attraction. He says he can show you how to get the attraction back. Is that your issue? Still in love, but not "in love", she's not attracted anymore?

My W, when she came back, felt very self conscious (never know how to spell that word) about what friends and family think. She finally came to the conclusion that it didn't matter. She'd have to face it, and she decided to look them right in the eye and push on. But then again, my W is very introverted and has very few friends. :-)

By the way, I love sushi. I moved downtown and am a block and a half walk to a very nice sushi place. It makes it easier to be separated when you enjoy the things around you.

to earn my keep, I feel I have to add advice, but it's the same as always: this will take longer than you think or want it to. About the time you get relaxed and used to being without her, and start to enjoy it, then she'll want back :-)

enjoy the sushi.
