As you have already learned, no one on here has a new, totally different sitch. A lot of the same stuff got me in trouble.
My W would tell me how good looking I was and different things. I would tell her on occasion, but not nearly enough.
Anyway, as hard as it is to believe, time is on your side. It has taken her years to get to this point and will take a long time to get back her feelings for you.
Listen to Sandi. I wasn't ready to hear a lot of the things she said when I first got here, but she is spot on!
BTW, my W finally agreed to go to MC after refusing for 6 months. I, like you, am wondering what to make of it. Take it as a step in the right direction and take it slowly. I've already jumped the gun, maybe, and must constantly remind myself to have patience. You're right, the confusion continues. For me, too. Take your time and let MC do it's job.
