I gave my W flowers for our anniversary and of course she was appreciative but frustrated at the same time. She read more into than it was but in the end it sparked a candid conversation starting with the flowers and going into more detail about things. I explained that I sent the flowers because wanted to because I didn't want our anniversary go go by with doing something. I did it because I wanted to and out of the goodness of my heart. i had no alternative motive. She was somewhat receptive of that but wanted to bring up the past about flowers like I never gave them to her but I did.
From there the conversation went into explain that I didn't want to live like this anymore and asking what she was afraid or feared. She said she would write it down in an email for me and I said that would be great. I understood her fears and told her I have my own as well but I was not going to act out of fear anymore. I told her I wanted hones conversations and if there was questions about communication through email or text that she should please call me. Some other things were said and it was all very candid and honest which was nice for a change.
Now my W and I are meeting for dinner tomorrow to discuss things. She is still scared or afraid of whatever when it comes to committing on working on our R or going to marriage counseling. I'm very interested to hear what she has to say. I know I need to be very careful at this point but at the same token my walking on eggshells this whole time got me no where that I see until I was ready to move on. She is not sure what she wants to do but man I just feel this can't go much longer for the either of us because it is just making life bad.
What advice do people have for me tomorrow for my dinner with my W? I don't have any expectations and I still want to take it slow by all means by I do want to take it in one direction or another.
