Another hat in the ring says, yeah! for the kiss! Go for it! I agree with your thoughts about the possibilities raised. Being the spouse, you have heard me go back and forth with my H as he works through his sobriety. (altho I probably lean more towards being open to the R) Seems to me that with an outside date set, she is looking to see what happens between now and then. The first time H got sober in 2007 and relapsed after 6 weeks we talked about D. My L explained how it all worked and what choices I had including starting the process and letting it sit until I wanted to go forward or not at all. Seems like she may be taking the slow route for a reason.
