This morning, as I headed out to work, I was quite surprised to find my wife a sleep, or pretending to sleep, on the couch. I went to bed around 11, and had no idea when she came back to the house. Curious, to say the least.
I had an appointment with my counselor today, which was fuitful. It was helpful to once again talk through everything, and much like taking to Chuck it was nice to get an external and reasonably unbiased assessment of where I was emotionally. As I talked through all that I've already read and learned in the past couple weeks, she stood up, opened a shelf, and pulled out "Divorce Remedy" - before loaning it to me, she asked it she would get it back (half in jest, but of course I said yes), but Michele had signed it for her. As we continued talking, at one point she said "You really don't want this divorce, do you?" and when I said no, she also loaned me "The Love Dare." All in all it was a good visit.
