Early Parole from the MLC Chain Gang?????

[MHL]

I haven't posted anything specific about my sitch in 3 weeks now, I have been waiting and watching, I had a lot of positive signs the beginning of April and was very hopeful then things cooled off substancially, so I just pulled back and waited.

My W and I had an argument over the phone last night over the fact that she did not call our S9 all weekend and he was upset, that she had not called at all. (This is usually typical when she is with the other man.) It lasted all of 2 minutes and was not that bad but it sparked several text messages after that included apologies from us both, this was a first.

The texting continued today to include that she "Missed being a mom" and she "missed being a wife". We have communicated more about our feelings today than we have in months. Our S9 was supposed to go over to her place tonight but changed his mind today. I called my W to check on her after he called her to say he was not coming over. I knew she would be upset, we talked for a little bit. She said she felt more comfortable texting, at the end of our conversation she asked for me to leave her alone for a while.

I am going to give her more space and time. It is the hardest thing when there is a huge step forward and you have to back off and let them set the pace. Its like running that race/marathon and you are constantly watching someone elses feet so that you don't run too slow or too fast.
