I hear ya man. Patience is the hardest part, especially when you don't know the outcome. That is why it is so huge for us to be working on ourselves right now. Don't feel like your just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop. We have to be patient but it doesn't mean we can't influence the outcome. It takes one to tango right. Your wife is showing a lot of interest in your actions lately, right. Make solution-oriented decisions and keep moving forward. Be a great dad and work on Country.
Flying across country tomorrow, out of town for 4 days. I'll waive down at crazy land wishing you all well, with a drink in the other hand... Can't wait. One thing I know, I WILL have a good time!

Have a Drink on me Country. Try not to think of the Sitch but I assume its like trying not to breathe.
One thing for sure, at least you will be out of the cross fire for those days.
Stay Strong Country

Yesterday around noon: *pic of D* + "The beautiful goose...Have fun on your trip!" - I never responded.
Today: *pic of D* + "Have fun on your trip - be safe!!!" - I will add, I pick up my D in a few hours, so while I pic is nice, it is not like I won't be seeing her in person soon.
Now, I know I am not supposed to analyze every little thing, but it is OK for you guys to analyze, right? Would especially like any female opinions. Truth be told, us men have no idea what you are thinking...

I did end up replying to the message today. The pic she sent me was from inside the car. I made a sarcastic comment about telling me to be safe while she was texting and driving. The comment was made jokingly.
She replies: "I was at a stoplight when I took that! I thought u would want a pic!" + "Silly!"
As you can see, my W is a big fan of the "!" in her text...

Cmon Man! Only she knows the answer. My W last year when she was involved with OM but we were separtated always wanted to know what I was doing. And always was interested in every trip I went on with the kids or alone. She ALWAYS made a snide comment about them as well.
MY Guess Country, and take this with a large grain of Salt. She doesnt neccessarily want you but doesnt want any one else to have you either. She wants to make sure that you always love her and will always be there to pick up the pieces.
Thats just my read from the WAW and since I dont have a Psych degree, take it for what it is.
Stope worrying about what she is thinking and enjoy your trip. REally enjoy your trip.

Haha, thanks 9. Honestly, I am not overly worried about what she is thinking, because I know I will never know. But, I must admit, I kind of enjoy thinking about it. Is that weird?
Oh don't worry, I will have fun. Visiting a single buddy in a college town. The worry is I do not have TOO much fun.

Well I'm no woman and far from a doctor but I'll give it a shot. I think it has been said here before and the more she writes you, the more apparent it is becoming. Cake and eat it too. Two men are fulfilling different aspects of her life. You and her have a connection that that dink she is living with can never achieve or begin to understand. You two created a living being together. A child that is a reflection of each of you. I bet you two had planned on having more kids too, right. She sees in you that real family that her actions are leaving behind. She testing the waters with the dink and finding out that she is not sure if she wants to take the swim. She wants to keep to both fulfill her family need and not burn any bridges. This is why it is important for you to act smart. Be a lighthouse for her but not a safety net.
