My WW and the Great Sandi2 Experiment - part 2

[Chris73]

Chris, this kind of unflinching, clear-eyed look at your wife and your marriage is -- I think -- healthy for detachment, and to recognize that your old marriage is dead, and you have to decide from scratch whether you want to rebuild your marriage and how long you have to go. This is something I've hoped to attain for a long time, and some days I feel like I've made progress, and other days I feel hopelessly stuck in the past.

FG. I don't know all the details about your sitch but just looking at your signature tells me that you've been through a lot of ups and downs. Going from a BD in November to a reconciliation for 6 months to another BD in April has got to put your emotions in a blender.

It's no wonder you feel like you're stuck in the past sometimes. You probably remember back to that first BD and reconciliation and wonder what you could've done differently or how you and your W can get back there again, it wasn't even that long ago. Right?

And believe me, I fully expect there to be times when that moment of clarity will feel minuscule compared to the horrible feelings of loss that will overwhelm me. But yes, I do consider it progress.
