T, I have to say that's an interesting twist on how things were. I suspect that what you said was and is true - the cage door is open for you both. But it also sounds like she is coming to terms with herself. That's a plus no matter what happens. Many of us have seen them fly apart, and I for one would like nothing better than to know there is another side for them. That they don't have to live their life like what we saw at those moments. I would also like for your marriage to stay intact.
I am glad she wanted to talk to you and that your 20th anniversary appears to have meant something to her. Enough to want to talk and ask for more time it seems. Won't be easy for either of you, but I'm sure it's worth it. I'm also sure at this point, that you'll be that person that everyone wishes they married (except me - you're not my type; I like my SO to look good in a dress
Proud of ya. You've come a long way and are very much a class act.
Best of luck, AJ
