Neil....you're allowed to talk to your W. You're allowed to do whatever you want. The bet is to do all the right things. The moment one of us does something like a backslide....you're out!!!
NDSMhelp....seriously man. Treasure the fact that your W is still at home. Neil and I have WAW's. I feel in my gut that it is too late. I feel she has left, started this new life, and I'm slowly being erased from the picture. I'm not helping myself any with the things I'm screwing up, but I'm somewhat sure that she has already made up her mind and is just confused as to how to execute because she wants to save face, not hurt people, feels guilty. None of which, btw, mean working on things and putting our M back together.
So....enjoy it and just BE happy. Do the things that make you and your W happy.
And Neil...don't cave to the pressure. This is weak if we can't even start our "game!!!"

Hi 3-musketeers. I think it's awesome you guys are supporting each other.
Just a couple of comments....my H talked to his brother about our sitch, it helped him a ton. H had our counselor, his brother, & 1 friend. That helped him get through the worst times.
I'd love to be one of the judges !
Oh, Neil, we ALL stumble. It's called learning. I stumbled when we were on vacation. I went back to my old way of doing things. Talking with Doc today helped me identify how & why & make some notes, & maybe do better next time.
Hugs.
