Looking for help with WAW

[mza8]

Gr8, I searched for the picnic and castle story but can't find it. Can you point me in the right direction?

Funny that you mentioned about the songs on the radio. When I got in my car on the way to church last Sunday, the song Patience by G'n'R was playing. I have heard that song so many times on the radio lately when I'm driving. Weird.

Update on my sitch. Things seem to be going well. I haven't posted in the past couple of days because I've been working really hard to finish the house work. I wanted to surprise my W and tell her we could put it on the market this weekend. Finshed up last night. Still have a few small things left but I can finish them anytime. I left my W a voice mail last night that the work is finished and we could put it for sale this weekend. She also emailed me yesterday to ask me a question regarding the house. The house cleaners also came by yesterday.

This morning my called me on her way to work. She had let the carpet cleaners in the house this morning. She wanted to tell me how nice the house looked and that I did a great job. She was very nice and complimentary. We talked about the house cleaners that came out yesterday. She didn't think they did a very good job and asked me what I thought. I said they did ok...they really didn't do a very good job. My W wasn't happy with their work and asked me if she should call them to complain. I told my W not to worry about it and that I would do some cleaning myself and take care of it. Since she had chosen the house cleaner I didn't want her to feel bad that they didn't do the best job. I thanked her again for scheduling them. She apologized for them not doing so good. I reiterated that they did fine and it wasn't a big deal. I agreed with my W that it was a lot of work and she was right that we needed someone else to do it instead of my W. She was happy to hear that.

We talked about the house. I told her that I wanted to get the work done so we could list the house this weekend. I told her that I knew it was important to her to list it this weekend, so I wanted to finish the work and make it happen for her. She thanked me, she seemed very sincere. We talked about the price for the house. She asked me again what I thought we should list if for. I told her that I think we should ask a bit higher price and she agreed. We talked about doing some more work on the house this weekend. She is coming over one day this weekend to plant flowers. I will be doing a few more things to polish things up too. W also told me that she dropped off her info to our accountant for our taxes. We talked for the entire time she was driving to work...about 30 minutes. She seemed very interested in the conversation, asked me my opinion several times and was definitely interested in what I had to say. I think I'm getting some respect back.

Again, another very good conversation. Very friendly, very relaxed, she laughed a few times. Just like our last talk, if you didn't know we were separated, you would have never been able to tell from this conversation. We talked just like nothing was wrong...very normal. It appears that she is definitely becoming more comfortable. I wished her a good day and she wished me a good day back. The way she said to have a good day seemed like more than just words. I don't know exactly how to describe it but it sounded almost "loving"...I think that would best describe it. She said she will call me later today after she talks to the realotr and will also call me this weekend about some other things with the house. I know selling the house has really lifted a huge weight from her shoulders. I hope this leads to us eventually working on us.

I continue to see positives. She is calling me. She is much more relaxed. She is interested in me again. It seems like she wants to please me with some things. We haven't had any more R talks but she hasn't brought up D or anything related in months. I think I am doing ok. My goal is to continue to do things for me and keep the momentum going in the right direction with my W. So far so good.
