Your words in your last post gave me some strength to get through a hard day. GAL is going to be very important for me today and for the future.

W and I have our next couples therapy session tomorrow. I am going to take you and Figgeroni's advice just to be a good listener this session. Instead of putting pressure on her for the hurt she has caused with her affair, take a step back and listen well for reasons why our relationship was vulnerable to allow it to happen. Like you said..

...showing her the new side of me that is simply being present and aware. Actively listening without trying to take control.

Acknowledging how she is feeling without trying to solve or fix or change anything, or argue and spin the words for my own motives or intent.

Just. Listen.
