Hope I didn't scare you off, LHSM .... how are things today?
Actually I am sort of shying away from this message board. Reading some of the other threads I feel there are way too many negative ppl here.
I had a pretty decent day. My wife came home from work and I made her dinner and had a glass of wine with her. We did not talk about too much and she made it clear that she is still upset with me.
I told her I am going to schedule a counseling appt next week for myself but do not expect her to go with me unless she feels the need to. She almost started crying and said, "Why didn't you do all of this stuff for the past 7 years?" I told her I was sorry and I will continue to work on myself and fight for our marriage.
Before she went upstairs to go to bed, she came over and reached down and hugged my neck and said goodnight. To me that seems like progress, even if I am still in the guestroom.
