hi there Gordie. Thx for the update - good to know how you are. Full forgiveness is necessary for our own peace of mind. I think I've completely forgiven exh, then something will come up that hits a raw nerve and I think, "Well, where did that come from?" I'm personally grateful for those awarenesses, as it lets me know what I need to work on wink

I'm glad your family vacation was a success. Those calls and texts during the day are a wonderful low pressure way to build intimacy.

Sex/Lovemaking will most likely be less awkward as intimacy continues to build... this is an assumption on my part, not personal experience but it makes sense, doesn't it?

GAL does two things: keeps you sane/focused on yourself and also makes you more desirable as a mate/less likely to be underfoot and taken for granted.

I dunno why I'm thinking this Gordie, but it just popped into my head: do you feel like you need to forgive yourself ? I ask because I feel like I have to forgive myself for my part in the demise of my marriage. Perhaps when I fully forgive myself I will be more able to fully forgive my exh. What are your thoughts on this?

A box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand,
That this too, was a gift."
