Steve,

You will have to fill me in on what your own story is someday.

CG,

I know. It was a dumb question to ask how to use it. I was standing outside with my car and cell phone. She was at home on her computer. I guess I figured she could look it up faster. It was midnight. Still, you are correct. That was dumb on my part.

Jon,

My W's contract is coming to an end. But she is interviewing for jobs that pay the same or more than what she is making now. MWD's suggestion that women suffer financially from a D does not apply with my W. My W makes far more than I do and is looking to even up that now.

I didn't know she had handled the roadside assistance. She got her new vehicle and put it on our insurance. That was fine by me as long as she was covering half of the bill. She hadn't informed me that she had done more. It wasn't me being passive about it, it was that I was not even aware of what she had done.

iwantittowork,

As funny as Steve's response was and I do love his responses sometimes, I won't dare send that to W. If I did, she would actually be all for it. It wouldn't get the same response from her as it would from other WAS's. Lets not forget that this is the woman who has told me on more than one occasion to go out and sleep with someone and she meant it. After all, she was taking her of herself in that manner.

Believe me, I want to succeed also. But if I dare say I want to succeed with my W, I will get beat over the head for it. Here is a question that a friend of mine brought up to me as I have no answer for. He said how do you start reconciling again? How do you start pursuing again when the time is right and how do you know when the time is right?

I had no answer but thought about it myself. I know how to go dark. I know how to avoid W and give her space. I know how to live without her as much as it hurts. But I don't know how to reconcile back or even know when it is appropriate to start moving towards that direction again.

I thought it was a good question even if it doesn't apply to my sitch right now.
