I am not pressing for answers

As you said what is the point

My desire for the big apology has faded over time

Am I okay with the rug sweeping

My actions say that I am

Is that an act of conflict avoidance

Or is it patiently loving my wife and living my life


Andrew

I loved your story

We grew apart

Our tree almost split

Can we be bolted back together and grow together again

Yes it is possible

But it will take time

A very long time

And the scars will always be there

But even scars fade

I think her actions show that she is working on herself

Conversations can wait

No relationship talks until after full reconciliation

Define full reconciliation

I think I know

And fear I may never get there

But fear gets me nowhere

So I am going to let that go



Gerda

You are going to make me cry

Yes indeed

The tree carer is God

And my tree is sick

When the pain was so great

I wanted to cut my own limb free

And saw no chance to heal

But here I am these many months later

Still under the same roof

Trying to love her and keep my family together

Still cautious of another round of running

But less cautious each day

I will respond to your other q on your thread
