I'm in, wife's out

[trc2009]

I'm still fairly new at this so take what I say with little weight but I found it a difficult situation talking to my W family. It always seems that things you say to them come back not the way you meant them when they share them with her. Glad that you are feeling good about it though.

My wife actually knows my brother-in-law texted me. She said she was glad that someone in her family finally reached out to me.

I didn't go into detail about much with either of them. Just told them very basic truths. I'm doing okay but am obviously not happy with where things are. That I do love her and hope we can work things out. That we have a long road ahead for better or worse. And that the kids are my #1 priority.

All of those are true and pretty broad. And it was just texting. No phone conversations or anything like that. Face-to-face or phone conversations will not happen until there is definitive proof that she's willing to move forward together with this.
