That's fantastic! Congrats!!

We spent 6 hours at lunch after that having the most open and honest conversation we've had in years. I feel really hopeful!


That's a really, really good sign. Most sitches in the piecing forum involved a similar hours-long heart-to-heart conversation that happened just before piecing started.

The "negative" in this is that he's still with OW but we talked a lot about that relationship on Tuesday and he made it clear the grass is not greener.


Well that is certainly a BIG negative. I hope you've been clear to him that you're not working on the M with him until OW is out of the picture. He has to break up with her in a way that involves you (such as a call with you listening in), that's the only way you can start rebuilding trust.

I'm afraid she'll pull him back in when he tries to end it.


It's definitely an issue. It's easy to say he's going to end it, not so easy to actually do it.
