From small beginnings come great things

As always 2step, beautiful work. I think you have her more confused than ever and that is not a bad thing. She still has some anger toward you, but she seems conflicted about it. I think she just likes hearing you say you are sorry. Maybe that didn't happen enough in the past and she is catching up. Either way, she seems like she wants to keep you on the line. Her reactions are very different from that of my wife. She continues to have conflict with the past. She continues to ask what do you want from her. That is also good. She wants and needs to continue to hear you say that you want it to work. I think, in a way, she continues to make you say the same stuff over and over again because she is trying to make up her own mind. I read each and every one of your posts. She continues to bait the sitch so that you have to say the same things over and over again. Nothing wrong with that.

My wife on the other hand just gets pissed and shuts down when talk of the past comes up. Anytime I have tried to apologize for the past she just says, "Why do we have to talk about this? What's done is done. I didn't come here to talk about the past, I came here to discuss the logistics of the D and be done." See the difference in the talks you are having versus the ones I am having.

Hang in there, buddy. Yes, you still have a long way to go. You are attempting to reel in a fish that is on the line five or six states away. You are going to have to reel very slowly and very deliberately or this one will get away.
