Wife having emotional affair part 2

[3kids]

I don't understand a lot but what ever I'm doing seems to be working a little. I got a text last night saying the wife missed her babies. First time she ever sent me one of those. So I called her back and made sure she was ok. We made some small talk about her feelings. I validated her. Made one comment joking that I know how painful this is and she just wanted to get rid of me and not the kids. Got a laugh at it and her under her breath saying that's not what I wanted either. I asked if she wanted to talk to the kids and she said let them finish there tv show and have them call me. I did and they talked for a couple of minutes each.

After they hung up I didn't ask for the phone. I just sent a little text message saying I hope that helps. W "kinda thanks :(" , M " if I could I would take away all your pain" W " I doubt that very much" M " maybe some day you'll believe me. I do care". To no reply but about an hour later she sent me a video of her cat. Me and the kids laughed and sent back comments. Back and forth, funny. Then I get a phone call again from her. Called to talk about property taxes and a garage sale that we are having saying she is just so alone. We talk a little. Tell story's about stuff , laugh. I bought up doing stuff as friends like going for a walk, dinner and stuff like that. She said maybe we could do something like that you are technically still my husband.

So I got a maybe to doing something with me a big step. A hole lot of positives from last night. Patience patience patience. Be the great guy I am.
