Corri,

I'm doing okay right now - still pondering some of the things that I've learned over the past few days. I've started writing a new letter to my wife which at this point I don't even know if I'll ever give her. Putting my thoughts down in writing sometimes helps me to understand them better, but if it turns out really good I might end up asking her to read it - we'll see. This letter is nothing like the letter that I talked about writing last week. Instead of trying to explain my feelings and needs, it's more aimed at truly understanding hers. I'm trying to communicate that I'm starting to grasp what she told me the other day (with a lot of help from you and MPT), to validate how she feels, and to assure her that I will be supportive as we try to work through our "communication" problems. If I ever do finish this letter and give it to her, I'll probably run it by you first if that's alright.

My wife has a second interview today with another company. I don't know if the job is the right one for her, but she hasn't ruled it out yet. She's to the point where she'd take nearly anything just to get out of her current situation. She has a few other prospects out there as well, so hopefully one of them will be a good fit.

Thanks for checking up on me.

Sooner
