Update: Things continue to go well with my wife. Sure, we have the setbacks, the ups and downs, but I attribute that for the most part to our inability to deal with the hurt that has been done, combined with the fact that our counselor is on vacation so we haven't been to a session in almost three weeks. Yeah, lots of hurt.
I'm finding that she is focusing quite a bit on my relationship with Linda. Even though she said last year that I should go find someone else and forget about her, she doesn't seem to like the idea that I actually tried to do just that. For the most part, too damn bad; she is the one that turned her back on me and went elsewhere. I have additional info on that, but it really isn't relevant here.
She moved this week from her rental house into our "smaller" house; the one I was living in last year (been a year now since I've started posting). I'm in our bigger house around the corner.
We spend many hours a day together. Heck, it's like we're all still together, only living in different houses. I like that (not living apart, of course).
She is now letting me be more affectionate with her. I give her a hug when I leave, a small kiss on her head or cheek. That's about it for now, but I feel more is coming. We're starting to joke around about sexual stuff. I've taken a few "liberties" with my roaming hands to be truthful...... Bottom line is that all is good and getting better.
As far as the kids go, they're digging all of this. They just love all of us spending so much time together. So do I.
Once again, I'll say to anyone that thinks their situation is hopeless - IT ISN'T!!! If I can get to where I am after what has gone down, then there is hope for anyone.
By the way - I love my wife! I love my kids, and I'm feeling very good about what God has brought back into my life. I cherish this and will never again take it for granted.
On another note, just to make it better, I've got my game-face back on in terms of my work and have forged a very large investment deal with a stupidly rich business partner. We're in the process of buying large blocks for foreclosure homes from lenders at steep discounts and I spent last week on the east coast putting together a deal. For a while I got to a point where I couldn't focus ten minutes on my career and now I'm laser -focused. Good stuff!!!
