I posted a long reply to all of you and it got lost. Dang.

Short version:

I am spending more time on GAL. I have rekindled an old passion that does not involve w or kids.

W got rid of her MLC pet that none of us liked.

W and I had a date 3. W kissed me on theips. Not open mouthed, but first kiss on the lips in a very long time.

Good days are outnumbering the bad days.

We still avoid all R talks. W is wanting to spend more time with me and the kids, but still values her alone time.

Stay strong and patient. One day at a time. Let go and let God.

Gordie - nice to hear from you. You sound good.

In some ways your situation sounds like I would imagine mine to have gone if my ex had second thoughts. She was never one to deal with difficult issues, especially ones that made her feel bad.

I would think that in much of the non-DB world where we have given a lot of thought to what a "proper" reconciliation would look like that things do get "swept under the rug".

If you are OK with that and the possibility that there may be unresolved issues that may rear their head in the future then things may work out.

We don't get the futures we dream of. I think that the trick is to live in the present we have.

Hand steady on the tiller, eyes on the horizon - #TeamGordie
