Maybe She Isn't Evil

[DonH]

I just happened upon your threads and since I'm having a lazy day here (after a busy several weeks) read through much of it. I'm rather surprised that no one else has responded here recently and that you've not posted an update in over a week. I could always be wrong but if you are portraying things with your waw accurately here I think you have a real shot at R. I really do! Now don't get all excited and blow it. You have to keep doing more of the same as you've clearly found something that is working in your actions. You guys are talking for hours, she is giving you little gifts, referring to you as Sweetie, telling you how good you smell whiling giving you meaningful hugs - how many posts here have these things in them? This is not a woman who has given up - it's just not. As she told your neighbor, she is just cautious. She wants to be sure the new you is for real. You can't backslide here. You also can't push and thereby spook her. You have to let this continue to evolve on its own. If it continues and so long as an OM doesn't come along and screw it up, I really think you have a shot. I strongly believe she will use all,or most if the mandated year in your state. She has nothing to lose. She will continue to watch, wait and see. As the year comes up I really think if you are where you are right now, she will give you a second chance.

It's just my gut take on it all. Who knows if I'm right or not, but I really see positives here. Keep doing what you are doing!
