Sorry I'v been away and haven't given any updates. I had moved away completely and started to get my personal afairs in order. I was rarely around a computer long enough to post.
What I found as I did this was my W and I started to interact differently with all the pressure off. We still had bad moments, but there were little breakthroughs alomg the way.
As a result my W sent me a text message the other morning telling me that she wanted to drop the D. If you recall I made it very clear that we would not get back together unless she could committ 100% to me. Also, I told her that having the D hanging over my head wasn't fair either.
She says that she has missed me, and listed specifics. She said that she wants to be with me and go all in. She told me that she would completely understand if I decided to follow through with the D.
She doesn't need to make a decision today, tomorrow, or a month from now. She just wants me to think the entire thing through.
She's wanting to comply with I told her 2 months ago it would take for me to want her back. we have discussed many issues and what our expectations would be at great lengh.
I have a hard time not wanting to give our 18 year M another chance. She has finally come around to what I had asked of her. Yet I still struggle to jump in.
I feel I want to give this another chance, and I feel that I will. This is a rare opportunity for a couple that was so close to being divorced. This could be very rewarding based upon the knowledge we're now armed with.
We have opened up and talked about what has bothered us for so long. We have a btter understanding of what the other wants and needs. We have learned to communicate openly and honestly with one another.
This is where my situation is. It appears as though we have come full circle.
