1. W brought sex up umprompted a couple times. Not "do you want to have sex?" Or "what if we had sex?" But sex talk nonetheless. She pointed out that she was dissatisfied with our sex life for a number of years and my role in it particularly (ouch). My reply, "Information that would have been useful to have had, say, over the past couple years. Do you think I didn't WANT you to be satisfied?"
She then -- again, unprompted -- said she understood that she, too, had been disappointING in the bed department over the past few years. Now I would have been ready to write this off as feeling sorry for herself, but it is the FIRST time she has ever acknowledged such a thing.
2. A couple iterations of "I don't know what's going to happen between us, but it can't happen until I can be alone for awhile and deal with all the issues in my head." Now ordinarily I would write that off as so much, "Keep waiting and maybe something will happen, or not, but believing it might make you cooperative."
BUT that's the first time she ever acknowledged she has "issues". In fact, just a month ago in MC #1 she vehemently denied any such thing. So I'll take that as a victory -- at least she recognizes a role in all of this.
Okay, if more come to mind I'll post them tomorrow.
