Yeah, at times I get the impression she feels my 'changes' are all an act. Therefore she kinda busts out the magnifying glass to investigate and then be a tad nitpicky. But I am only human and I am slowly growing. But it is progressive and it is improving and every day it gets easier and easier. Like I said 'upward spiral' its now no longer in my 'control' but snowballing with its own momentum

Yes...she did make the right decision to leave. In hindsight, I would want to leave that guy too.

And I can completely understand her skepticism, and in fact I welcome it. She may turn over every stone looking for a sign that everything is a ruse. I have all the time & patience in the world to let her do that.

Thanks for the encouragement & reminder; just the other day she doubted me and reitterated her desire to leave as soon as feasably possible and I felt down and hopeless about things. So yeah, I expect the roller coaster to continue

But instead of gripping with white knuckles, I think I am gonna raise my arms in the air! Why not, its not gonna kill me!
