I feel as if I've been given a couple more crumbs of things moving in the right direction.
Jealousy or concern she's losing me? Over the last couple days she has been upset and has twice mentioned a security code on my phone, twice mentioned I've been working out, getting lean and looking good for my next girlfriend and has twiced accused me of sleeping with much younger women from the gym.
Trying to get my attention? Last night I was laying in bed reading a book. She changed her shirt in front of me (back turned). I did not let her know I noticed. For at least the last month she has been sure to change in a different room and with the door closed.
Reaching out? Trying to attach? -Last night WW, D4 and I were watching TV. WW was on a different couch reading on her phone when she put her head in her hands and began crying. I acted like I didn't notice. Several minutes later she said " I just received an email about my job interview. They aren't filling the position until November." She was expecting an answer this week. I said "that's not bad news." I feel like she was looking for me to give her support and reassurance. Maybe hug or cuddle her. I did not. - This morning she stepped in the office. She said "Happy Birthday" I said "thank you". I wasn't expecting any acknowledgement of my bday at all. She then said " I feel frustrated bc you don't realize you ended our marriage when you cheated last year. You say you chose to reconcile, repent and ask forgiveness but I feel you ended it. You say I'm having an A but I'm not and maybe at first I was but not now. You did what you did and then I did something worse so if this makes you feel better about yourself so you can tell your friends and family that I did something worse...." I raised my hand and she stopped talking. I said "May I interject?" she nodded. " There isn't one part of this that makes me feel good. I don't feel better or good about any of it. I chose to reconcile, repent and ask YOU for forgiveness. I can not control your choices. I can not control whether you forgive me or not." She said "You say I haven't forgiven you for anything, ever. I feel I have forgiven you or I wouldn't be able to move on." I said " During the turmoil of this last year God has created in me a tremendous amount of character development. Your choices are yours and there isn't anything I can do about it but I know God has me. I have given you and our M over to Him and no matter what choices you make His plan for me is good." She said " I believe I loved you too much." She started crying and left the room. At first I felt "here we again, really on my Bday you're going to drag up my past failures". But then I realized she's not angry. She's sharing feelings with me. Why is she sharing feelings with me? It's not to hurt me. Maybe it's bc she still cares. She obviously still feels enough for me that she would be willing to be vulnerable, share intimate feelings with me and cry. Are these crumbs of things moving in the right direction? I sure do pray they are
