I will say this about the letter and crying etc... She didn't have a glass of wine until afterwards. She wrote the letter during the day. When I arrived home she was reading a self-help book and listening to Oprah's self-reflection stuff. lol
I think I am at a better place for moving forward with confidence. The letter was heartfelt and I think she is only beginning to do some self reflection to realize what she has done. She even mentioned in the letter that she is going to call the OW to apologize and ask for forgiveness for what she has done. I thought this was a big indicator of her remorse because the OW has gone crazy and threatened and ruined her name around town.
She has to be feeling some true remorse if she is willing to call the OM's wife. I am still going to take it slow.
Any advice on boundaries and helping with a plan going forward would be much appreciated?
