Quick update, Xmas went well, I had the kids Xmas Eve, then dropped them off at my wife's for lunch, I got her a nice present, and got her 1 from the kids, I only got 1 off the kids not her, but I'm not bothered, I have the moral high ground!!!
Anyway, over this time I have been thinking hard about what I want in the future, yes I feel good about me, but what do I REALLY want, and I know I want my wife back, that's what I want.
So I told her, I missed her, I loved her, and I want to work on things, but its up to her, she never said no, but never said yes, so I left it at that.
Next thing, she had arranged to pick the kids up, usually she phones when she is outside for them to come out, but last night I get a knock at the door and here she is, I told her to come in and she didn't need to knock, the kids seemed as surprised as I was, we talked about the kids etc, she then noticed I had my wedding ring back on, she asked my why and I told her, I wanted to be married, and until I'm not married legally I will wear it, this surprised her and she just smiled.
I then asked could we change a day a I had the kids as I had something to do, she agreed and asked what it was, I told her I was getting a tattoo done, she asked straight away was I getting her name on my wedding finger covered, I said no I was getting a phoenix on my arm, It was a sign that I had moved on from the ashes of our old marriage, I was a better person for it, and it was something I wanted to do.
She was really interested, and asking about how it will look, etc.
Anyway she had to leave to take the kids to the cinema, but I sensed she wanted to talk for a while, the kids had to drag her to the car!!!
I don't want to read into this too much, but I feel positive about us, I'm not rushing anything, but I want my wife and family back, and I'm going to do whatever I need to do get them back.
