I am open to this, but I do think we need a little space and time to cool off a bit. I think it would be more productive if we had a few more days like yesterday.
Make notes of what worked. Make sure you give some space for her to move towards you. Be prepared for a little pull back.

No, I don't see forcing or begging. And I don't want you to think that my pride, big as it is, would keep us from reconciling. I do feel that a lot of people including you don't give me enough credit for the feelings I have about what I've lost.... Just because we're in this situation at the moment doesn't mean that this is the result I wanted or that I see this as the only possible permanent outcome.
This is great.
Side note: pride, hates to lose = insecurity You not "being there" when her Mom died fed into that. Don't be her security blanket but her strong, dependable, secure husband. This is the friend she wants you to be. More later. You are handling it. Cheers Coach
