Greek, so basically if she really wants to be with me she'll respect my all in or all out stance? If she's willing to take a chance and test the waters on this, then she probably didn't really want to work it out?
Not necessarily. It is likely she is afraid, like I said earlier, of signing up for the same thing she LEFT. She may feel like she needs to SEE more of who you are now to know if the new marriage is a possibility. Important for you to continue to practice what you've learned so far. Don't tell her you've changed - show her - and this is a perfect opp. Navigate this part of the path in a strong, decisive way (women like this) staying balanced with the partnership - validate, listen, compassion.

I told her this morning that I can only do all in. I can't have a D hanging over my head and still be living away. We will never know unless we try. Even if we take the time to work things out, we'll still "what if" moving back in together. I shared with her some of the things u and coach shared with me. I told her that u were two people talking from experience. I don't want to lose this chance, but it must b all in or I wont survive it.
I believe you are correct in this.
