I know many of you have been following my sitch. I am going to start a new thread since this is the start of a new phase for me.
W and I had a fantastic dinner tonight. Spent the first part of the evening talking about her trip to Europe. I think it was great that she went, she is relaxed and happy. She said that the trip was good, but we would have done it differently. She then mapped out an itinerary on how we would possibly see Italy together this summer - wow.
She then started to talk a bit about her thinking. She threw a ton of compliments my way and said that she fully accepts 50% of the blame for where we are today. We both made mistakes and it is time to put the past behind us. I agreed 100%.
She said that she is not ready to fully re-commit to our marriage, but things are heading in the right direction. She said several times... "there is a reason I am here."
I did not push, but agreed with almost everything that she said. We talked about what life would be like if we got back together. We both agreed that our daughter would be priority #1. She also said that she realized that she had been drinking way too much over the past 2 years. She barely touched her glass of wine at dinner.
It really was a very nice quiet romantic date. We even were making out at the table a few times! I know the owner and he reserved the entire balcony just for us. I think she really appreciated that I took good care of her tonight. She also said that she knows who I married and she must let me be a man.
I walked her to her car. We made out again and then we both said I love you.
She suggested that we do something as a family on Sunday. I said... perfect.
She also asked me to take things easy - no text messaging blasts or tons of emails. Just let nature run its course.
I agreed.
I then told her that I was heading our for the night and she told me to have a good time and that she would call me this weekend.
I think I handled this well. Got nervous with the R talk, but it seemed to be flowing so I went along for the ride.
