Odga Your doing a great job. It has always been my experience that a letdown always followed something nice. My problem is that I never understood this until recently. So for the past 2 months I have DB'ed my butt off with my ExW. There have been some good things to happen. She asked me to go to Tunica to the casinos, she initiated this, she asked me over for Thanksgiving dinner with son. I wish she would show some affection like she did in June and July, but that is when my jealousy and expectations where running high. So in a nutshell you and I both are really trying to build new R's with our ex's. Its a long row to hoe, but it will be worth it in the end.
