The Twisted Irony (16)

[gForce]

lala land?!? Makes me sound like I'm in some false fantasy! I hope not!!

Friday call was slow, so we got to spend some couples time together, then Saturday we went down to the coast and met up with MIL and spent the day in the sun just relaxing. Walked around the shops in town for a while (which was a 180 for me since I HATE shopping). MIL acted kind of ambivilant about things -- she is glad we are working on things but is nervous about the apparent sudden change and whether it is what W "really" wants. So she is being cautious with the whole situation. Can't say that I blame her.

That evening, W was very affectionate, lots of ILYs, lots of physical touch -- and I loved every minute of it. She says "this feels right again" and "I'm happer than I have been in a long time" -- and her demeanor shows this also. She would like to move back to living together but we both think it is too soon for us, and too much change for SD8 right now as well. Sunday I went back to The Villa to take care of some household chores, while she did the same at The Cottage. So a bit of a breather for us.

Downsides? I think things are a little too intense right now. She says she wants this second honeymoon we find ourselves in to last forever. I said it won't and one of the things we need to work on is how to continue to build and grow our R even after the honeymoon is over. So I think there is some unrealistic expectations as to what a LTR is supposed to look like in her mind. We do have MC set up which I think is VERY important, so we'll have some guidance there.

I also think this has been great, but will it weather the inevitable crises that will arise when D14 and SD8 get thrown in the mix? Again, an issue that we need guidance on. Overall things are very good and I'm very happy. I don't expect perfection but I don't think I could ask for more.
