I appreciate everyones response and thoughtful ideas. Things are very friendly tonight but I'm careful as I don't know what she thinks or feels and I haven't attempted to discuss our relationship. I'll leave that to be discussed while we're with the MC. I still haven't read the book to understand the exact actions of a 180 but based on my idea of what that is and addressing issues I've failed to recognize (my issues) I'm taking action for personal growth and change. Something I should have done years ago.

I mustcomment that when I found this site in my state of desperation I had no idea I'd experience the help you all provide. Thanks very much!
