I don't think I mentioned this before, but the other week, I offered up the following thought/idea to my wife.
If we're going to remain friends, then she will need to find a way to come to terms and let go of her anger towards me. Hate in her heart will burn in her for the rest of her life, and I know she doesn't want that.
She agreed wholeheartedly and said she'd be willing to try to go to counseling (in a month or two) to address some of these issues so that she can move on from the past and possibly forgive.
Possibly a ray of light, if nothing else, than to improve our friendship.
