Hiya, Peter.

It is great to see that you are having interactions with W. Seems to be moving in the right direction...but very, very slowly.

Is it time to suggest reconciliation? Is it time to pull out the DB book and go over it with her? I also got a course from StrongMarriageNow by Dr Dana Filmore with modules on how to get your partner checked back in and the half a dozen modules on relationship skills to be learned.

Don't ever reveal the DB book to a WAS. This is our playbook and should be kept close to our vest. Oh man...I have seen posters reveal DB or DB site to their WAS and it all blows up in their faces. Not good.

If you feel that Strong Marriage Now would be a good step, I think it is worthwhile. Of course, W will need to be willing to do this as well. It takes two to tango.

Have you considered Retrouville? I've seen posters swear by it. So might be worth checking out for you and W.

Creating new memories and hobbies as a couple has proven to be a good way to bond together. You might want to chat with W about this and find creative ways to experience new experiences together.

Have you checked your intel to verify that the A is indeed completely over between W and OM?
