I'm back, and have so much to post. First I'll start with some of our trip activities. We did the swim with the whale sharks tour on Saturday morning. I was nervous but it was amazing! The creatures truly are gentle giants. There were several dozen in the area, and they get VERY close to swimmers. (W actually got bumped by one!) I also seen manta rays and a smaller shark of another speices!
On the way out we seen flying fish, and on the way back, a pod of dolphins! I highly recommend the tour.
We walked to the shopping plaza two different days, bought a few gifts and ate dinner at a diner on the marina in front of a live band. Also had a couple of nice dinners in our resort.
Sunday we both did a workout in the gym. Spent plenty of time on the beach and playing in the water.
The bad news: W is still cool, distant and quiet. Says she is still done, is convinced she never had a spark for me and never will. Doesn't expect she'd ever want to have sex with me again, and won't let me touch her. I'm a nice guy and all, but just like a brother to her. Says "wouldn't it be nice to find that "spark" with someone someday?"
The good news: She's still here, not likely to file or move out any time soon, and not actively seeking a relationship with another man. While we are mostly quiet when together, we do have brief periods of verbal connection. But am I just a good friend? That's what she says she wants: for us to D and remain good friends.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
