Ces - really glad you were able to have that conversation with your W. I hope things continue to improve for you both.

Something else to consider and I'm sure it has crossed your mind, it is one thing to say you want to stay married for the sake of the children, but what comes after they are grown and move out on their own? What happens then? What happens to CES 10 years down the line?

Retrouvaille might be something worth exploring with your W in addition to the MC.

Anyway, I'm really glad you found the courage and an opening to generate some movement. Good for you!
