Just got off the phone with my DB coach. She thinks the situation so far has had some encouraging progress, but some notable setbacks.

I have to stop getting myself involved in arguments with her, especially about the affair or our past. I have to control my anger. I have to stop contacting the OMW.

Approach pursuit tactics very carefully. If I can get a full week of "good days" (no arguments or conflicts), then I can build on that. I haven't had more than two or three consecutive "good days" since D-day, four weeks ago.

I have to keep my good attitude and detach. Give her the freedom she so desires without stepping over any boundaries that we've both established.
