Informally separated from WAW, but DBing my best

[AlwaysTrying]

hey AT, glad to hear some signs of opportunity. I hope this helps start some growth and renewal. It will still take a while so keep the patience and the faith!

Thanks. I'm not really getting excited. My wife's language is quite guarded. She doesn't want to do anything to improve our R, and she doesn't miss me, but she *wants* to miss me.

Given how protective my W is being about her walls right now, I'm not expecting a big breakthrough or her to acknowledge any positive feelings or thoughts. I expect the outcome of the talk with my coach to involve more concessions, goals, and tasks for me, while my wife continues to remain reserved.

I am expecting the coaching involving my wife, to increase the chances of making improvements in the short term and reducing the time it takes. But I know it will still be a long road. My 8th wedding anniversary is August 28th. My goal is to get re-commitment by then. I've learned I can let this take as long as it needs for my wife. My main concern is for my kids and the strain this puts on them.

So, "I'm not really getting excited." It's not that this gives me hope, but that it vindicates the hope and faith that I already had. I'm quite pleased with this development and am looking forward to seeing how it pans out.

So, yes, I hope this sends us a little faster down the road of growth and renewal.

I'd like to say a bit about faith, though. Drafting...
