Thank you for the feedback and coaching. It is nice to get some pointers from someone who has been down this road before me.

No More Mr. Nice Guy was an interesting book. Thanks for recommending it.

Also congratulations on some of the great progress that you seem to be making on your relationship (based on your posts elsewhere.)

You did say that this was going to take longer than I anticipated. I guess, I need to understand that on a very personal level.

>43 years of marriage--My wife and I are now closer than we have been in decades. I believe that my SSM is over.
