Wife has left and filed for divorce

[vertex]

I had a nice conversation with my MIL on Friday when I picked up the boys at the park. I briefly apologized for any part I had in Wednesday morning's chaos. She said that my W still loves me (I've heard this several times from her in the last five weeks). She also said that some women leave their husbands, close the door behind them, and never look back, but that my wife hasn't done that. So that seemed positive and gave me hope over the weekend.

I shared with my MIL a story of a few months ago when my W and I were arguing. I told my W the reason I was mad was because she was valuable to me, and her eyes just lit up. I told my MIL I regret not telling my W how valuable she was throughout the marriage, and my MIL smiled saying how all women need to be nurtured like a flower so that they can love back. She then suggested I keep a journal of all these nice thoughts about my W so that she can read it one day.

My MIL also said, however, that I can't wait too long (I'm not exactly sure what she was referring to here) because some women fall out of love if enough time passes. This made me nervous and so this weekend I was confused about how to take this comment in relation to the positive things my MIL said. I'm not sure how not to wait too long when there's a mutual restraining order (my wife dropped the Order of Protection) banning direct or indirect contact indefinitely.

Some other good news was that after my lawyer gently chastised my W's lawyer about my W and her MIL threatening to call the cops last Wednesday morning, my W's lawyer acted much more professionally on Friday. My time with my boys was extended until 7 PM on Sunday and the overall tone was pleasant and accommodating, so I do see my wife giving more and more concessions to me on a weekly basis, even though she's still pushing forward with the D.

Any thoughts? Sandi? 25? In the meantime, I'm enjoying hanging out with my boys, going to the gym, continuing to hang out with friends and trying to focus more on work.
