To be clear, the wife and I are working on things. We celebrated the anniversary together. We go on dates, discuss the R openly, hang out with family. We are communicating better, which is awkward feeling for me at times. Our families have aired things out and everyone seems to be supportive. I've made mention of my expectations for the relationship and monogamy. W agrees. She has tried to be open, but I'm not going to play detective and ask for every password and check up on that. If I feel like she's full of it, I'll tell her "prove it" but there hasn't been anything. She's not secretive on the phone, she posts pictures of us. She even talks of the future.
The W and I are getting along ok and doing well and we are both learning how to interact differently. It's a bit strange not fighting and squabbling over little things. I'm working hard to undo the dynamic I created and heal from the affair and relationship state that I co-created. Just acknowledging my part in the downfall is hard.
So Davide, no Bumble dates for me. But I see the D is final for you, so I hope you can and have begun moving forward.

It is not things that bother us, but the stories we tell ourselves about things.
