Well, update time!

A pleasant 2 hour talk, nearly all relationship based & led by WAW.The main points:

She met step daughter also yesterday (before me) & told her she was meeting me, I think this was a big step for her, would she have told her if she really wasnt thinking seriously about this? Maybe she just needed to get her approval. Step daughter & step-son both blame WAW for having affair & booting me out.

Long conversations about `trust' , from both angles, she always thought i was having an affair (I wasnt but led her to maybe keep thinking that, I know I was an idiot) also about openness in future including access to each others mobiles etc IF we get back together.

The OM has been told to give her space to think but she has not cut him off yet & he is chasing & pleading (she was honest about that I think) For me this is the only way for us to move forward, there cannot be weeks & weeks of talks while she is still seeing him, if she wants him she should stay with him & not offer me false hopes, I have been clear about that. I am also careful not to back her into a corner either, bit of a balancing act.

Her txts to me after the meeting:
`Thankyou' xxx

`I dont want to get hurt by you again, You know what i want but I need to keep telling myself that i trust you have changed' xxx

(my reply: I dont want to hurt you but if you are worried that i will hurt you it means you've got big reservations)

`I havent got big reservations, its something I have to get my head to work through if that makes sense?' xxx


So there we go....next instalment who knows!!! Need to tell the girl I was going out with tonight the truth now before that goes to far, i think that will hurt her which i hate but i have to be honest.

Thanks All
