Very true. Only thing different from before the A is I am a 100% better father. I wasn't a bad father before, but I was more hands off, I am all about my D2 now and nothing brightens my day more than spending time with her.
I also have started to GAL outside of our marriage; new friends, helping with church, etc.
She has noticed both things and it has affected her to an extent. Right now I think it is mainly bitterness that I wasn't like that beforehand
Sure - but there's no way your W will trust any of these changes as permanent...yet. That's the beauty of the divorce process. It's slowwwwwwww. So keep on doing what you're doing. Focus on the 180s. Focus on your D. Focus on you.
