To recap the past week. Tons of time spent on the video calls with W. Lots of listening and validating opportunities. Remorse is being shown. We're now the anti-OM coalition. DBing is amazing. Boundaries are still firmly in place, even amidst the good moves forward.
Over the weekend she talked to me more than she did S5 on the video calls. Got a text on Friday saying she wished she could have come down this weekend. S5 and I had an amazing weekend with him on Sunday saying he wanted to stay an extra night.
Sunday, at the exchange, which lasted 3.5 hours...We all played quite a bit. I went out of my way to meet at another exit farther up north so that S5 could play there.
W and I talked A LOT. I took my laptop and put Retrouaville in front of her so that we could discuss going to it. She said she will read through the 4 stages and testimonials this week. I was asked pointedly about details regarding her moving back home, including finances and technical details. Things we need to work on as a couple. Finances. Parenting. All sorts of things. I noticed she was using "We" several times and doing future talk.
I made her laugh. I mean, I really made her laugh several times. We shared some special moments with S5. She wore an outfit she knew I find highly attractive...And admitted she wore it for me. She brought up some good memories, particularly one about chicken fettuccine alfredo that her friend made without broccoli (I made it with broccoli for our first date - a concert with a picnic). I was supportive of her throughout and did not push any agenda. Light and breezy.
Fast forward to this morning's texts: W: Good morning Me: Morning W: I'm applying for that program manager's spot Me: The one here? (I told her about it yesterday) W: Yeah Me: They'd be fools not to take you W: I really want our family to be together again. I don't like this. Me: I'm right with you there. We can do it. W: There is obviously a lot of things to work through, but it's not impossible, I don't think. Me: I have no doubt in my mind that it isn't impossible.
We've been slowly texting back and forth for the past 40 minutes. So that's what's up for now.
