I met with my DB coach today. Her advice: - keep doing what is working and don't do things that are not working - She does not believe that my W is "faking" these changes on her end. there are too many drastic changes from things that she has said and done before - She said to be patient however, and not expect too much. Just be a great friend for now, be a great parent and be consistent with my changes and 180s - expect that my W will on a roller coaster for a bit of time....she may be cold/standoffish after being warm and friendly. She is still struggling through her journey. Do let this discourage me - do not bring up the A, the $5K charge on the credit card, the lies, the deceit. She will tell me about them in time
Update on today...my wife and I have a funny back and forth on text today. She flew to NYC today but is committed to being on the 9pm flight home. She even said "for my next job - no travel."
Does this mean I fully trust my wife again? No. Does this mean we are back together? Clearly not. But, I have seen a slew of positive signs to give me the belief that I need to continue what I am doing, which is being slightly detached but still being fun, warm and doing nice things for her (e.g., I bought her two of her favorite magazines yesterday...she thanked me later when she came home).
Me: 40, W: 40 M: 15, T: 18 D - 10, S - 7 D announcement 6/7/2014 A discovered 7/20/2014 (but denied by W) Still living together and sharing same bed
