Hope,

Put yourself in her shoes. She likely found it difficult to believe you would take her back, or not be judgemental of her, or forgive her...so many different fears for her to overcome.

I also had a similar conversation with my wife about her saying "I love you," first. In fact almost word for word on both sides. Stick with it and remind her occasionally when sshe falls back into old patterns, just as she should remind you when you fall back onto old patterns as well. : )

I appreciate this Jack. And you're absolutely correct. The part I find myself struggling with is when she starts to slip some, my mind automatically begins to think there's something going on.

I need to keep reminding myself that she has a lot of chit to deal with, and when there's something that comes out, like the Tiger Woods thing, it really sets her back. I KNOW it's tough on her because now that she's seeing clearly, something like that brings on this whole new set of guilt that she has to deal with. I wish I could get her to let go of the guilt, but that's something she has to get through on her own with me just being there to support her if she wants to talk about it.
