"Nothing has worked to this point as far as bringing us to any kind of thinking about reconciliation."
Gee didn't we just have this conversation like a year ago?
Baby steps. that's your problem. You're still looking for the magic change of heart that your W is going to experience to get to reconciliation. AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!
Be blessed with what you've gotten so far. She's okay to be around you now and not disgusted. She actually talks to you. Her family has thanked you for things. What can't you see as being an improvement. All this can be used towards R, but you just can't see it. No matter how many times everyone here has told you so.
I mean how on earth can you be asking the exact same questions you did a year ago? Have you really not changed at all?

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
