Addie,

Thanks. I have been gaining strength every day since I let go. It is still very hard to live in the same house. I crave alone time.

My W and I now agree on all but one item in the D. It is a big one but workable. She is getting really nice to talk to and has been flexible about everything in the D. She gave me compliments today, is calling me honey and dear and has expressed a desire to talk more often. The more that I push the D, the nicer she gets. This has been a huge 180 for me with pushing the D. I was riding along and not wanting to talk about much less do anything.

If I could only get this attitude WRT working on the M. She is in love with the OM so the best that we will get to is Stage 2. We are solidly there now.
