I'm surprised by how many comments to my thread are being deleted. Makes me wonder what's going on here.

Well, just got back from wife's place. We had our talk and it went better than I had expected. We had a good discussion, but she said that she already understood my position. She didn't try to deny anything either (for a change); she claimed to be confused (duh); she said that she was sorry (this was her first apology during this mess). It was fairly obvious that she wasn't having the fun filled weekend with OM that I had envisioned. What ever happened between them wasn't good; she was an emotional train wreck.

She still wants to work on our relationship, but she has questions for her IC tomorrow. Our biggest issue, in her words, was that I wasn't fulfilling her emotional needs. I'm sure that's true; if I hadn't been neglectful of her emotionally, the OM wouldn't have had an opportunity to fill that role.

Another small step, but still in limbo land. I guess?

I sure never expected to have this kind of drama in my life.

Good call CityGirl, the letter idea wouldn't have given me the feedback I needed.

Thanks to everyone ells for your support, even if I'll never know what some of you said.
