Yeah... this is actually something that makes me a little nervous. While on the one hand it's nice to know that people I haven't even talked to about it are pulling for me, on the other hand I know my W pretty well, and she can be quite obstinate and is just as likely to dig in her heels and stick to her position if she knows it's being questioned by people.

It's like my FIL said... he's worried that on some level W feels like she'll make an @ss of herself for sticking around after she's told the world her marriage is irrevocably broken and she wants a divorce, and then finding out that I am capable of learning and growing and changing.

Nothing I can do about that I suppose other than to keep on keepin' on... (and keeping my own d@mn trap shut!)
