Amen to what they said. You're not really in limbo, you're in "Piecing" and in a way I found that stage very hopeful but "not done"...
We are never "done" with working on our marriages (unless we end them) as they are all works in progress like we are as people. But as long as you are caring for yourself and not just her, seems like this was a mature thing for her to say.
In a way, she's simply articulating what you feel but maybe it was hard to hear b/c it came from her(?) and not you. Just wondering. ANyhow, I'm crossing my fingers for you b/c things are truly encouraging, on the whole. Realistically this is the best case scenario. In our ideal worlds, the WAS would "wake up and get it" overnight. But that's not realistic. She's taking this the way it's most likely to succeed I think. But you certainly do need a good 3rd party to help. Must it be one and the same? I'm only asking b/c you say she was previously uncomfortable with the one you have, although he does sound good for both of you. I generally think it's good b/c you'll know that the mc is pro-M, but if you could find another one would she feel safer?
