Gr8, glad I could offer you some support today. Anytime my friend, anytime.
Take this on day at a time. Try not to get caught up in, "if your W does this, then you'll do that" sort of thinking. You won't really know how you will react to whatever signs she gives you until it happens, so give yourself a break and take that pressure off of yourself.
As far as the house goes, yeah I can empathize with you there. Look back at the last two weeks of my thread to see how much I deliberated over the same issue. For me, I came to realize the burden and stress the house was putting on my W. I realized that the house was standing in the way of any real progress with my W and I. So I decided that no house or any other material item is worth it to me to stand in the way of taking the stress off of my W and hopefully helping our M. The house is now for sale. Don't know if we will really sell it or move back in it together if it doesn't sell and if in the meantime my W and I get back together. Who knows, but what I do know is that I SHOWED my W through my ACTIONS that I wanted to do the right thing and what's best for HER. As you can see from my post in my thread, my W burst into tears when we signed the listing agreement with the agent. I know she really doesn't want to sell the house and maybe we won't, however, she needs to be the one to tell me if she would want to keep it.
It's a tough decision, I know, and one that takes time. Do what's best in your sitch. I will tell you that since I agreed to sell our house, my W is really starting to show signs of getting closer to me.
I'm glad to hear you are not going to bring up the post nuptial agreement. I think that's a wise move. Good to hear you're going to remain patient. If you stop by the hospital and pick-up some more patience, can you get me some more too? One can never have enough.
