Well, it's about TIME you showed up... Thanks for the update... I worry about you in a sick, masochistic kind of way Just joshing.
Besides the fact that you have been living out of your car and sleeping in your office, things sound as though they are headed in a very positive direction.
In regard to your wife's email... I understand how difficult it must be for you to trust or hope at this point... but don't sabbotage yourself by getting in your own way... try not to analyze the 'deeper' meaning of her words and actions, but to take them at face value and move on with it, you know? If she sounds sincere, assume she's sincere. Doesn't mean you have to pack up and run home, but give her points for trying.
I don't know if you saw JamesJohn's post on another thread here, but given that I'm a nosey broad, I thought I'd go read what he had linked to, since he took the time to put it out there. It's quick, if you get a moment: Step 1 - Start With A Beginner's Mind
Might give you some food for thought. Have you bought Michele's Divorce Busting Book? Could be your wife has, you know. It might have some good info in it for you, too.
At this point, she sounds like she is making some real efforts and stretching herself beyond anything that she has done before. So wait and see.
Patience is your friend right now... and the road to patience is paved with empathy and tolerance. (Have I already given you that lecture?
And yes, I am doing very well lately, thank you for the sentiment, especially in the middle of your crisis. My H and I actually had a very deep conversation last weekend that lasted nearly two hours, and he didn't once get defensive or snap at me (well, maybe once... he actually LISTENED to me!! And you know what? I don't give a fig if he didn't agree with one thing I said -- the important thing for me was he gave me his undivided attention, and in so doing, he made me feel very, very special.
Just joshing.
