It has been quite a while since i have posted on here. Its been almost a year since the divorce papers were signed and the divorce will soon be final. Since the first time I started reading Michele's books and reading her articles it was a struggle for me. But everything she said has been right. I finally learned to GAL, worked on my career, dated other women, etc. My wife had moved on to another relationship.
Now - the shocking news - recently my wife asked me to dinner. At first I said no - but then we agreed to lunch. Since then she has invited me over several times - cooked me dinner, etc. My daughter is ecstatic to see us together. It is still a work in progress, taking it slow. Neither of us are sure which way it will go. I'm not fooling myself - I know that our relationship still is not her priority. And I have issues that we need to overcome - especially her relationship with someone else. Am I just her fall back b/c the other relationship ended? I'm not going to be "second string." I do believe having our family back together is best for our daughter, but I'm not sure what kind of marriage we wil have if it even gets to that point again. Thank you again to all those who posted with advice to me previously - it was a big help.
