So today was a watershed moment, feel free to step all over it pls.

So WW came home, we had sex, immediately afterwards she gets up, starts balling her eyes out like there's no tomorrow. I;ve not seen her ball like that ever. Naturally i bring up cheating and get shot down. Instead she says...

WW - I was trying to feel something, but i just don't feel the same way about you, I don't think that I will anymore
ME - Thats ok, you're looking for feelings in the wrong place. Those feelings that you had for me are gone. You will not find it again, do not hold on to it.
WW - But i was trying so hard and I could not feel anything (sic)
ME - You need to let it go, all those 10 years, let it go. Put it in the past because it is not there anymore.
WW - But if i'm not in love with you then how can i try to make this marriage work.
ME - There is no marriage, there is no us. What we need to do is work on building trust. I am not in love with you either, i've been killing those feelings for the last month. What we had was just sex, and if you're looking for more, then you are not going to find it.

She said that she had to then have a divorce and i likened that decision as its now 4:55, i'm not in love you, so I need to be divorced by 5pm. Which is clearly nonsensical. It appears she is going to take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

So for now, the tension is gone, she's willing to forget the past. Its like a weight has been lifted off both our shoulders. What it means is that she can longer throw items of resentment at me, from 7 years ago. Its a total new start, not for us, but for each one individually.

I need to make sure that I stay out of the friend zone and i have reaffirmed by cheating boundary. On her way out she stated "it is okay for us to kiss and hug hello and goodbye?" to which i responded, "yes, but i'm not going to initiate it."


Just cos things are going right, doesn't mean that they were always wrong.
