Things are going better. She has been relaying back to me the conversations with her friends and mother. The gist of which is how well we have been communicating, how positive I have been, what a wonderful life we could have together. She is now periodically calling me and e-mailing me. She told me she was afraid to open up too much too soon because she was afraid I would revert back to the old ways. I need to keep doing what I'm doing. It seems to be working well. She is now talking about the future, things she wants to do with the yard, how she wants another band on her wedding ring at five years...?? Huh? Yep... That's what she said last night. She told me that it feels like she is dating me again.
