Never thought I'd be here..........Part 12

[2thepoint]

Crimson - a few quick thoughts (typing on my blackberry is difficult).

Sounds like some very promising developments. Regarding the friend, it is probably best for you to simply validate your W's feelings on the matter. Time will tell if there is ever to be an opportunity to resurrect the R with the friend. If you and your W are able to R then the capacity is there for your W to forgive and maybe there will come a time with the friend as well.

The issue with the house is not uncommon. I think it was Busto who said he had to sell his house for the same reason as your W has indicated. Being under water is a drag but perhaps you could lease to someone else untill the market improves.

Regarding her father, I think you are going to have to let your W work through this with her father. There is probably no constructive thing you can do at this point. At least not until you and your W have fully reconciled. I think this is why we are often told to be very careful about what we say and who we tell about the issues in our sitch's. For me, I've not discussed the "specifics" of my sitch with anyone other that my IC. I did not want to have to deal with untangling messes if we get back together, so I keep my mouth shut.

All in all, things are really looking up for you! Bravo!
