So - we had the conversation with wife and this is the status:
W said that she will commit in working out our issues from the past in counseling and cut the contact to OM as I outlined in the letter.
BUT, what she was not ready to commit, is the outcome of the counseling, namely if we would be a couple or not in the future. Frankly, this was the case also when we started the therapy - to solve past issues and see if we could find the emotional connection between us.
So, if we would go down that road, we would not have a "relationship" status, but only go to MC with mutual commitment (and actions outlined in my letter) that there would not be anyone else in picture meanwhile.
Itīs of course impossible to predict the MC outcome in any case, so in that sense Iīm kind of curious to see where it leads - we have appointments booked until beginning of June. So if itīs not going to work until that, then be it.
What Iīm curious about is what kind of signal it sends if I agree to this after OM, but it should be remembered that we did not have the result locked in the first place either...

How does this sound to the board?
