Thank you for your kind words and advice. I know I have a positive attitude about the whole thing...I'm sure that will come and go...but for now I feel pretty good. I have now convinced myself that I have to change for no one other than ME. I understand that now. I know it will be hard not to push things at all, but I feel that I will not even appempt to ask for my wife to come back until my therapist feels that I am ready. So, I will just put that out of my mind the best that I can. I will continue to spend time with her though, when she's in town and vice versa, but put in my head that she is just my friend, and let the interaction be based from that. I have EMMENSE support from my family, and that is a tremendous help.
