Maybe I should be in piecing part 3?

[Hope4us]

Just trying to get you laid!!!

But seriously...its a major part of recovery and a big hurdle to overcome.

I appreciate your intentions!

I know it's a big part of recovery. The thing that's weird is she'll sleep in bed with me when we're out of town, but not at home. We had this discussion on my last thread and everyone is pretty much in agreement that W probably slept in OUR bed with OM and it freaks her out being in that bed with me now, so the sooner I can get the new bed set up, the better.

Last night was kind of quiet. W started her training for her temp assignment and I could tell she was pretty spent. We talked some about it and made dinner together and talked about a few other things, but I know she's stressing about this assignment. I keep reassuring her that she'll do great, which she will, but she always down plays her abilities. And I know that's one thing OM did for her, gave her confidence (she told me that) so I've been reinforcing how I KNOW she'll do great, and her boss will finally see just how valuable she is in her current job and how she's not being used to the best of her abilities. Our company has a saying that we try to get "everyone on the right seat on the bus" and I hope with this temp assignment that her management see's how her talents are being wasted in her current position.

This morning was good. Which is not normal for us. W is NOT a morning person at all. But she came downstairs before I left for work and we talked about her training and S16 and some other stuff. I told her she smelled good as she'd put on my favorite perfume and then I said "you look pretty da*n good too". She replied she smelled good because she skipped the shower this morning and wanted the perfume to cover up her lack of a shower and I said, "whatever works, you look and smell great today"! And she smiled at me.

I was getting ready to leave and was telling her that my nephew called me the other day about Disney. We're putting him and his wife and kids up in our time share in May and I was telling W about the conversation. I know she wanted to go out and smoke before S16 got up but she put up with me rambling about nephew before I realized she had other things on her mind. So I said "Oh, I better go, the roads are bad" and told her have a good day and I'd see her tonight. She smiled and told me to have a good day also. And I got a hug good by! Wasn't a full frontal, pressure in all the right places hug, but a hug none the less.

So, it continues. Really looking forward to this weekend's trip. I have a feeling that we'll connect again. If we do, maybe it'll be the last push she needs to get over the hump.

No expectations, I know, but it's so darn hard not to have them...
