I know kolja. It is a matter of maintaining perspective - I am grateful for my progress but still have memories of my wife packing up etched in my head.

I know I am in an enviable position, but I'm here to tell I am discovering that like the phase I just left, there are no certainties to be had here. I truly cannot tell if my w cares to hear from me, or even if she wants to hault the divorce proceedings. Yes, we have spent some time together but I have no idea what's in her head right now. For all I know she could be thinking that after spending this time together she is growing more certain that D is the right thing for her. Honestly, I have no idea. It's not as if she is texting or communicating any more frequently. Granted, it hasn't been very long in this stage and perhaps I'm expecting too much.

How do I balance pulling back with reconciliation? How do I not scare her away? How does DB fit in this place?
