Adam, things are progressing nicely, your W is starting to realize that life without you maybe isn't as good as life with you. But I think you are setting your DB'ing aside and letting yourself get swept up in your W's cake-eating. Please understand she is not even remotely interested in recon right now, she's just trying to ease her transition to the single life and she's using you to do it. You really need to get back to DB basics. Remember why you are here, remember what got you here, remember your goals and remember how you can achieve those goals. Focus! I realize you are trying to ease the transition for the kids, but don't play house with W. It's just going to be painful to you when you temp check her and get BD'd all over again.

Why??????? Why would you do that? REMEMBER YOUR GOALS. Ask yourself "Is what I am about to do getting me closer to my goals are farther away?" ASK YOURSELF THIS ALL THE TIME.
