Texted W and asked if she wanted to go out for dinner and if she wanted to talk. She called back and said that she was open to both so we went out to dinner and talked for about three hours. Great honest conversation which included that she still needs to see about the future with the OM. He is not M. . . .
I plan on being patient and showing her the new me and the confident me who enjoys being with her and talking with her and listening to her.
Ken,
Do you intend to be her sounding board when she wants to talk about OM to you?
This won't work. It's emasculating, she will lose respect for you, and as McQueen says, it doesn't convey "strong, caring husband" to her. Frankly, it conveys "gay boyfriend."
