Latest: W has initiated a couple of conversations in the last week about the marriage but the conversations are about the past, specifically, areas in which I did not perform well as a H. W is correct about 99% of her complaints and I am validating her comments. W never mentions the future. Instead, she says things like "whatever happens with us . . ." She also has remarked a couple of times that she likes my attitude and the way I have been speaking about life and my recent important work meeting. W likes the fact that we are working together and no longer argue about petty stuff. At the same time--this seems to be the BIG obstacle to reconciling our M/R--she repeatedly says that she doesn't know why it took so long for me to get it and that she has been asking me to do all the stuff that I am now doing for years and I didn't do any of it before the S. She asks me why it had to be so hard. She seems to recognize my real change but seems to be reluctant to embrace it as real and lasting and worth taking a risk on. She asked me to join her and the kids for a family outting last week and I did and it went well. She asked me to join them again next week. Does anyone have any insight or thoughts that he/she is willing to share about what might be happening? Thank you.
