Arsene, I feel better just by reading your post. I know CB thinks it's more of the same, but I don't think it's exactly the same.

I agree with you that she's not pulling away from you, and the fact that she opened up about all that stuff is really positive. Wow, 3:00 AM! My H and I had such conversations last December. He would ask me if I wanted to stay married. I would say yes but only if that's what he wanted, that I didn't want him to feel trapped. And then he would say he would have regrets bc he didn't experience the "dating other women" he wanted to do.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear things went well. Now you get a little emotional break. Time to recharge and work on yourself.
