PM - Happy Belated BD to you and mine's later this month!!

My W had begun going through the same type of things your W is doing. I held back where necessary and opened up where I felt I could (mainly on my own personal journey and steps I had taken to process all this). It is so hard to hold, but you have to.

In our recent situation change, I was shocked to find out that the W thought my positive mental attitude was all because we were splitting up and moving on, but that came out in therapy about two weeks before her coming to her change. She had been floored about my happiness and just assumed that and I hadn't stated that I was still wanting back together by keeping mum on the topic and doing my thing.

If R is where y'all are headed, she's going to have to reach that decision (to try) on her own so you have to continue to be patient like you say all the time. You're handling this like a champ and I wish you the best.

Later,
Trying
