My wife and I have been doing pretty well since deciding to give things a try. It's still pretty new, and we have already had to have a few really uncomfortable, hard conversations, but we got through them and still loved each other after. We spend tons of time together and have been getting along great. We are both very happy to be back together. Right now were just kinda enjoying the time together and not talking too seriously about the next steps.
We have talked about putting the rings on and moving back in together, but were not there yet. Both of our leases are up in 5 months, so that could work out well.
Anyways...
We have run into one pretty nasty snag, and I'm hoping someone has had a similar experience and can help out.
Here's the problem.
My wife left me, out of the blue, and started "dating" very soon afterwards.
This caused almost all of our mutual friends to be pretty disgusted with her, and cut her off completely. That hurt her badly. I basically had a HUGE support group helping me through it, and she had nobody.
These people never disliked her, they just didnt agree with what she did. They have all been very supportive about us getting back together.
So now, word is getting around that her and I are back together, and all of a sudden some of these people who didnt even want to talk to her while we were separated are texting her, emailing her and seeing how shes doing and stuff.
And shes... Offended. And hurt.
Bottom line here is she knows she is going to have to face some very awkward meetings coming up.
To her credit, she knows this. She told me she gives herself pep talks about it, which is pretty cute actually.
Anyways, I want to make this as comfortable on her as possible... Her reconnecting and seeing my close friends and family, but she is so hurt by them "ditching her" during the separation I dont really know what to do or say.
Sorry for the ramble... Hopefully someone has some advice.
