So glad you spoke up harrier... I agree you and I have it better then most but far from where we want it. I do feel for others on this board. If my WAW continued to see OM I am not kidding when I say it would be over. I would kick her out or file for D. It would hurt like hell but I would need to do it for my own health. I am not saying others should feel the same. It is just my threshold of disrespect. For those of you that hang in for months and years, God bless you!
I mind read wwwwwaaaaaayyyyy too much. When my W and I are close I assume she does not want to be near me even though each and every day the hugs are warmer and closer. When I walk in the door I'm greeted with a big smile and hug. She is definately makeing great efforts. As I said, she gave up her "fantasy" sole-mate and that really IS a huge sacrafice.
Positive Reminders: Just a month ago she was hanging on the edge of the bed as far from me as possible. Not anymore.
Just a month ago she was looking at town houses to move into. Not anymore.
Just a month ago she was waking up and going to bed sad. Not anymore.
Just a month ago she would not talk of any future with me. Now she talks daily.
Just a month ago she would not talk about doing things together. Now she does daily.
Well... Feeling a little better... Sitting close by the fire with wine and TV tonight just like every night... Then to bed to read a relationship book together.
I know what my problem is... It's the intimacy I miss. But I assume if I stay the course and stay patient it will be better than it ever has been.
