So W gave clarifying R comments about her recent wamth, affection, and ML to me while at the same time pushing for our S in the coming weeks. To her, H now listens to W and understands W and is helping W live the life W wants to live and is putting W's desires ahead of his own and that letting go of W and M is an act of love. This makes W feel closer to H. It confirms her feelings that we don't need to be M in order to have a love R.

Gordie's analysis:

*I can only change me. I like the changes i have made.
*W likes the changes I have made but they don't change her view of M.
*W thinks the traditional view of M is a bad deal for women.
*I will choose to continue to father my children every day.
*I will choose to continue loving my W (though not sure how that plays out on a day to day basis, particularly if/when she engages with POM and how I will outlast that storm).
