Hi Betsey,

Have to say I agree with everyone else here about what Mr. W said to mom and dad.....

It would seem to me to be a VERY good sign of positive forward movement.

I would go so far as to say this is a step that is even far bigger than a baby step...seems like a giant leap of faith if you ask me!

He is making a "public" committment and in fact it's even more than that...it's a committment to those who you both know and love and who he knows loves him back...and are most importantly aligned with YOU!

It's about as far from non-committal as you can get!

And it also implies that he realized the responsibility is on him to get off his butt and do something about working on this between you two.....

But let's not get ahead of ourselves yet.
He has to, on some level, realize that this "information" would get back to you.
So I for one would not mention that this has occured.

It is extremely positive and I hope you are encouraged by it. I hope it fuels good thoughts about the two of you and your future together. It seems he is definitely thinking along those lines, but maybe a bit afraid to outright say anything like that to YOU...but that's okay....

He may not come right out and say something that direct...maybe it isn't in his nature?

I hope this gives you some relief with uncertainty about where he may be headed....if you even had any to begin with.

It has been rather apparent to me for quite some time that you guys just needed some better tools for communication...this was not a case of either of you not loving each other or even wanting the marriage to end.

Wondering how the motor home "fiasco!" got taken care of ...and I hope your cousin is at least in the beginning stages of recovery!!
