Things are good....okay really, really good. After months of wondering, waiting and watching, things are finally coming around.
Everyday for the last 2 weeks or so, my W has hugged me, kissed me or said ILY. (sometimes all three :-) ). I feel comfortable offering her affection (and more importantly not worrying about it being returned)
The work now is different and I won't say that we are back. I mean how, it's only been about 4 months since my W seem to want to commit to working on the marriage. To many that's a blip and I know there is many a cautionary tale about coming back too fast. I don't think that's the case here, but I am mindful.
We are still in MC, have a session tomorrow in fact.
I had a strange experience last night. My W and I were with the kids driving to dinner. We were just having conversation about our days. then my W says something that was like temperature check on the marriage. She said she was really happy with how things were going. She talk about how nice it was to have things solid at home. I agreed, but mostly I didn't want to have any R talk at all. maybe I was burned out or preoccupied.
Then later on we were lying in bed and my W said that it was great to finally feel really optimistic about our M. I think I sad something like "I'm glad." and she said kinda firmly but joking. 'What? you aren't optimistic?" Of course, I said, "no, I'm very optimistic too." Again, I didn't feel like getting into an R talk and I thought that's where she was trying to go.
The convo kinda stay with me for some reason. Part of me felt like I needed to reassure her on my feelings about us, but part of is pretty sure that she knows how I feel.
over, I am one happy dude these days.
Hope XYZ is doing good and I wish safe travels and moving for Bolt
