My W said last night that she doesn't want to make any decisions now because it's 1) emotional and 2) we do have a lifetime history together and 3) despite all the M stuff we still get along as friends.
She hasn't made up her mind and I believe she is open to the possibility of having a great M and R again. She said I have to trust her. She said repeatedly it's one of the possible outcomes (how's that for psych speak). Of course she said divorce is also a possible outcome.
I don't know how open she is to trying things like dates, or MC. from convos in the past it appeared that she was open to this.
She just wants to get to the move out.
the whole friend issue is tough and I know A LOT of people struggle with it.
I can't say I'd be okay either way now. I am too mad at her, the situation but mostly myself. I know I have to reach that point, perhaps moving out will help with that.
