Gordie,

I'm so glad to hear about your new GAL activity. GAL is so important, even during and after reconciliation.

In terms of R talk, are there things you think you need to say, or things you think you need to hear?

If it's the latter, I suggest you focus more on actions and less on words.

Words might come later, but as long as the actions are heading in the right direction, I wouldn't despair. If her actions show that she is making the changes you need--not just returning to the old M, but doing the things you want and need for a healthy new M--then she's not sweeping things under the rug.
