Mandy, I just wanted to thank you for your brutally honest posts, while it may not be your intent your story is actually one of hope and inspiration for me and no doubt other husbands who are dealing with WAW's right now. You're living my current greatest nightmare- that I will detach from my wife fully, start another relationship and THEN find out she wants to reconcile. I've told my inner circle that it's the worst-case scenario for me because then someone's heart gets broken regardless of the outcome- either my W or my new GF; and probably also mine. Your story gives me reason to continue to be patient and hope for my WAW to clear her own fog.

Right now you just need to be patient, it took many months for your H to get to where he is now and you can't expect an overnight R. Just as you had to sort through your issues, he now has to do the same. It took you many months, it could take him a while too. So be patient, read DB and DR (over and over again) and implement the lessons. Good luck to you!
