Heh, I didn't even think of it that way, but yeah, it is.

I think I'm on the verge of that with my wife; she seems to be more comfortable around me and talks about plans in the future (holidays and stuff). She was worried about her paycheck being so small due to all of the time she missed due to her surgery and how we would cover our expenses for the next couple of weeks.

The big roadblock is the physical intimacy issue. When she's ready to deal with that, I will be there.

This is true. When my wife told me that she didn't want to be in this situation again, a few years down the road, I told her that I had no intention of being in this situation again, with anyone.

If -- when -- she is ready to trust me again, I will be able to show her that. Until then, I have to keep on keepin' on...
