Hi Painter, thanks for checking in. I'm re-reading DR and getting more out of it the second time through. MWD's advice is good, and I think sometimes we forget and just focus on the LRT or NC and really there's much more kindness in the book and in her ideas.
W and I are reconciling and it is going really well. Some bumps in the road, but my attempts to be the lighthouse and keep the road clear while also living my life have paid off. And she is being very attentive, remorseful, introspective a bit, and pretty consistent. So we're both doing something right and I'm grateful.
Ow is fading fast. I don't think they are in contact with each other, and W is actually feeling better and better about herself and her choice to come back to me. We are talking about me moving home but I'm not pushing that (too much). I am moving some of my things back. I'm happy.


11/4/15 W revealed EA/2 months later became PA with co-worker
Reconciling since late April 2016
Don't give up until it's time, then move on
Be patient, strong and kind but never a doormat
