She had her alone session on Friday with the therapist. The normal 40 min session turned into an hour. She'd been dreading going all week, said she'd not tell this stranger a lot of things about her past. When she came out I could tell she'd been crying. Asked her in the car if she wanted to talk about it... she said "No, not right now". So I drove on, and about a min or two later she started spilling it all out. Sounds like she told her just about everything. That made me happy b/c I was afraid the therapist wouldn't have an accurate picture of her without some of that key info.

Going through periods of feeling depressed though and some short periods where I just feel really strong and empowered. Oddly, the times i'm feeling strong/empowered are moments where I'm realizing I dont NEED my wife to be happy. That I can be happy outside of our M. Not sure if this is a good thing or not. I like the feeling though.
