Jack, Thanks for checking in. I definitely have not slipped back into my old habits. My 180's are a permanant change for me and I will never go back.
She did call while at work and told me that she was sorry for acting the way she did and that it was a combination of that time of the month and feeling the she wasn't being heard again by not wanting a party. She said she understood that it wasn't my idea and could see how if it was going to happen why the kids and I wanted to be involved. We did confirm to each other that we are happy with the way things are moving forward and we have come along way.
She really didn't want the party so the friend cancelled and I went back to my original plan and booked a nice weekend getaway just the two of for the end of July. Exactly what she wanted.
We get along great alone and with the kids but now we need to reconnect on an intimate level. That I guess is my next hurdle.
