Gotta Keep Trying 2

[Hope4us]

GIMA, You're getting there.

She's sharing who she's texting with you? EXCELLENT. She asked to go back to Disney and made the plans? Double Excellent.

It's hard to see when you're in the sitch and have all these expectations, but trust me, you're making progress.

Like I seem to tell you with every reply, don't push it. Your marriage will make it or not on her pace. Not yours. And everything you've posted lately seems like she's moving towards you, not away. Keep it up. No pressure.

Just to give you a little encouragement. Yesterday my W and I were sitting on a bench next to this smaller river in our area. We'd gone for a drive because it was such a beautiful day and we were driving along the river and spotted this bench behind this restaurant. So we stopped and went out and sat there enjoying the day.

Part way through the conversation we started talking about our upcoming trip to Disney. I said to her, "We've got a pretty big anniversary coming next year (25 years) and I was thinking we should go to Disney for 10 days in Oct". W looked at me and said "that would make me happy". I looked her dead in the eyes and said "are you happy?" And she grabbed me and pulled me close and gave me the most passionate kiss and said "Yes, I'm happy".

This from the woman who just 5 months ago told me she thought she was happy before OM came along, but she after she met him, she realized she wasn't.

Keep doing what you're doing. Enjoy your time together without expectations. It'll happen, maybe not how fast you'd like, but it will.
