Day Two

[Lifes Twists]

Its been almost a month since I last posted on my situation. I have been giving it time to move along at its own pace without any pressure on her or myself to move things along. During this period we have continued to communicate at a low level. She continued to bring up things she missed and felt a loss over.

This morning we met for coffee and to talk. We talked about the kids and the impact this has had on them. She expressed that it has been much worse than she thought it would. She talked about the loss of coming home to a family. She again expressed her sense of loss of being a wife, a mother, loss of home. I validated what she said and expressed my own sense of loss and the needs of our daughters.

The conversation worked its way around to where do we go from here. We discussed the probable push back from our families to getting back together. We both agreed though that we have to live our own lives and not let our families live them for us. We discussed the confusion the girls may have if we get back together and how to explain it to them.

We have agreed to take our time. We are going to keep it to ourselves right now and work on thing together to see if we can bring our lives back together before we bring anyone else into this.

Our we on the path to reconciliation? I believe we have taken the very first tentative step. Neither of us are going to jump in head first. We are going to go slow and make sure it is the right thing and that we will be in a better place when we are done.
