So, as suspected, I got another call from the wife this evening. How's it going she asked. Great, I had a great day today. So, are we going to work this out or not, she asked? I said, I thought you were done. She said she really wanted to work it out and would I please take this woman off the FB. I said, no, I think you're trying to control me again. She asked if I would call my couselor and ask her if I was being unrealistic or unreasonable. I said, ok. I'll leave her a message. So I did. Same thing as I thought but even more interesting.
My counselor said, assuming you guys got back together and were "back together" then I think it would be in both of your interests to not associate with people of the oppposite sex unless they are mutual friends however, you are not back together so it appears that this is controlling behavior. She said, I can't tell you what to do but if you are considering getting back together then I would suggest that you guys take it very slow. Start with dating.(I know, Gucci already suggested this) She said, if you take this OW off FB and it doesn't work out then you've lost a friend. She said, most people that walk away don't make demands to come back home if they really want to come back home. She asked if I felt comfortable around her. I said, not for the most part. She said, that's probably due to you not trusting her based on everything she's done. She asked me, what makes you think that she will change her behavior based on all that's happpened? How do you know that she will deliver on everything she's promised based on her past behavior? Once again, she suggested that we start slow and that we start dating.
So, we'll see if my wife will agree to that. Personally, I doubt it and that's ok.
