I guess I am a official "piecer" now. My W moved back in last weekend. So far things are OK, better communication, kids are happy, she is a little affectionate and I am de-stressing. Changes: back to MC, hiring a housekeeper, speak up if something is bothering you, and planning activities together - dates, vacations, home projects and get-aways. Glad to have made it this far, I am grateful for the chance to work on my marriage and appreciate all the support, guidance and advice here. Cheers

Congratulations Coach. Good luck on working it all out bud. You've given so much good advice, I only wish I could give you some in return. You seem to be doing great though so keep it up. Cheers.

Sometimes you have to become lost before you can find yourself.
Well played coach. Sounds good and glad you have some strucutre in place there to avoid possible future slippages (is that a word ?). Think those do's and don't might be something for others in piercing to maybe have, assuming their former WAS is on the same playing field and open to those suggestions as I guess they could be pressure they don't get want or feel comfortable with.
Thanks everybody, feel fortunate to have another chance. Looks like crew from across the pond is on board. Haven't been to the UK in a couple of years. Was deployed to Fairford a couple of times in my B-52 days. We are going on a date tonite, going to see one of my W's fav singers. Got good seats so it should be fun. How have you all handled old grievances? We are communicating better but the some of the bigger issues are still raw. Ideas?

old grievances huh? with me, i just kind of acted as if when w came back. as i get more comfortable, i am learning to tell her. "i like it when you did this, or that", instead of being critical. just try to enjoy togetherness for awhile. as i was advised r talk can wait.
Fight the good fight no matter the quality of your opponent.
