We may have a chance after all

[optimist]

Thank you Jackie and dfb. I know I should not make ASSumptions, but it is very difficult sometimes.

My goals so far are simple. Whether they are realistic is another question:
1. OW will no longer work for him by Xmas (major must: a sine qua non)
2. He will keep me involved in his office (I have no intention of letting this happen again).
3. We will talk about each other feelings and plans (he is getting better at it: just last night he asked me to take him to the airport on Fri for a same day bussiness trip; before he would not have told me or just mention it at the last minute).
4. We will spend 15 hours a week together (no work, no kid, only fun): we are doing about 6-10 now which is a huge improvement
5. He will be able to tell me things he does not like without feeling he is letting me down (getting better).

What do you think? Suggestions are welcome.
