Thanks, newmama. Got some good insight from the website you suggested - thanks for your thoughts.

W and I are headed to MC this week. We are gingerly approaching moving forward. W thinks there is too much baggage, too much has gone on. She does not know how to trust, meaning me, herself, our relationship. She is very up and down. She just had a good 10 day vacation visiting an old friend, and is afraid of a downward spiral now that she is back here. She seems committed to trying to get our R back on track, and we both need to focus on that goal. Cautiously optimistic.....
