Bill, Rj2, thanks for the support. There have been days lately when I've felt so detached, and then somehow she pulls me right in. All she has to do is look me deep in the eyes and start talking and I just melt, my resolve starts to slip, and I forget the situation we're in right now.
We slipped into another R talk last night because the counseling thing came up. Next thing you know we're talking for three hours, some very heartfelt stuff too. She still denies any chance of reconciliation, but she was really open, telling me things about her feelings she'd denied to me until recently. I told her I was concerned whether these frequent R talks were helping us, and she said they were helpful to her; but she was in tears at one point, and it pains me deeply to see her hurt so much. It's taken me a long time to forgive myself for how much pain I caused her. A little pulling back is probably good for both of us right now.

You are so right about this, thank you for reminding me.
