I had a bad afternoon, but I'm back on top this morning. Safe to say I learned my lesson. I won't be going back to her for comfort any time soon.
See, that's just it. If you ARE in piecing, then now is the time -- after months of having to deny yourself the comfort -- you SHOULD be able to turn to your wife, at least occasionally, for comfort. Reconciliation should be all about the betrayed spouse getting their needs met again, while the formerly wayward spouse makes amends and the two of you work together on the marriage as feelings slowly return.
