This is awesome! We love to hear when another potential divorce is busted.
Your situation is VERY similar to that of Hound Dog. Once your wife opened the door, you carefully applied your DB skills and things started to get back on track.
Unfortunately, for many of us, our wives have slammed the door shut. Until it cracks open, it is incredibly difficult to make it work.
Good luck! Enjoy your 6 weeks as a bachelor with a girlfriend.
