TIMES THAT TRY MENS SOULS

[gunny]

Received this email from w yesterday. She has been gone almost 3.5 weeks, still very early in the process compared to many of you. Over the last two weeks, we have been corresponding back and forth via email, I dont text, and we havent talked by phone except for one time, 5 days after she left

Here it is

HI GUNNY

THANKS FOR MEETING WITH VICKY THIS WEEKEND AND GETTING THINGS STARTED. I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THE PAPERS ARRIVE. I'M SURPRISED BY THE HIGHER ASKING PRICE, BUT IF VICKY THINKS THAT A GOOD PLACE TO START, THATS FINE, ITS BETTER FOR BOTH OF US, THATS FOR SURE.

WAS THERE ANY SNOW UP THERE WHEN YOU WERE THERE? DID DAVE, TRISH, YOUR DAD AND ELLEN MAKE IT UP?

THANK YOU FOR REMEMBERING THE PICTURES IN THE KITCHEN TOO

I RECEIVED THE PACKAGE WITH MY MOMS WILLS, THE MARRIAGE CERT, ETC. I WOULD LIKE TO REIMBURSE YOU FOR ALL THE POSTAGE YOU HAVE BEEN USING TO GET THINGS TO ME, SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW MUCH.

TRAVELER(OUR DOG), SEEMS TO BE MUCH LESS ITCHY TODAY. ITS THE FIRST MORNING HE DIDNT WAKE UP SCRATCHING AND I WOKE UP BEFORE HE DID. I GAVE HIM A BATH ON FRIDAY, SO I GUESS MAYBE HIS SKIN IS SETTLING DOWN. THERE ARE STILL NO SORES, JUST IRRITATION. I DONT WANT TO JINX ANYTHING AND SAY WE MAY BE OVER THE WORST OF IT WITH NO INFECTION, SO I WON'T SAY IT:)

THANKS AGAIN FOR HANDLING ALL OF THIS,

TAKE CARE
WIFE

My DB coach has instructed me to print the emails she sends me and keep them.

I have noticed a subtle shift in the tone of her letters, she is starting to put in a little more personal info, i.e. info about the dog. For those of you who have lived through a long distance sep, is it normal to see a little more personality and warmth develop and seep through on the part of the WAS? Just curious, my coach said to be discerning of subtle changes.

Thanks for your time all
