I do agree on the positives of the situation and I also agree that now she needs to chase me. I'm talking w/ my DB coach tomorrow morning and we'll work on my game plan from here.
As for telling her I still love her, I'm ok w/ that just like I told bizarre. I'm not putting it out there again, however. She may have needed it as an ego stroke and now she has the information and it is up to her to decide what she'll do w/ it next.
I'm pushing forward w/ things, especially w/ the sale of the house. I need to finalize it and get myself out of debt. The house sale and the settlement of the financials will be big, but the number one hurdle to clear is custody.
I do think she's starting to realize that she may lose primary custody of our D and she may even be recognizing that I'm a good father and not the a-hole she wants to make me out to be. I'm not sure, but there are positives here for sure.
The key now is for me to ride it out and see what happens next. I'm also going to be leaning on the advice of my DB coach as they have a better handle on how this works than I do.
In closing, I will say I'm very surprised that this happened so early as I surely thought it may be years down the road before she ever began to crawl my way. The empahty w/ my situation w/ our dogs and then allowing me to have another day w/ D was huge for W. The talk about love was an additional step toward the middle. That said, while I'm on the 50-yard line, she's just got a toe out of the end zone, so she's still got a lot of work to do before she can even see mid-field.
