I decided to add "Piecing" to my signature info because W used the phrase last night when she was relating to me a discussion she had with her mom about our sitch. MIL was asking about what was going on with us, and W told her we were slowly piecing things together.

Kind of funny, but W also used the phrase "180", saying she wasn't sure if she could do a 180...meaning she wasn't sure if she could go from feeling like she wanted a divorce to feeling like she wanted to stay married, but she hoped that she could and felt like that was the direction she was moving in. In my mind, I liken it to turning a cruise ship. It's not going to happen on a dime.

Slowly but surely, things do seem to be moving in the right direction. I have been sticking with my work--the 180s and GAL. W has mentioned several times that although her guard is still up, she is warming to the idea of a future together. She is definitely interested in renewing a year-long lease on our house, and has been tentatively discussing other future plans--e.g., potentially buying the house we are currently in or maybe moving elsewhere together as a family.

Just have to keep the hard-earned changes going...
