Thanks BL. It is just really amazing how far we've come. It has taken a longtime. AS, LH, R2C and others like to remind LBSs here that this is a marathon, not a sprint. And this is so true. After BD my W's love and attraction to me was dead. I've told the story about how she pointed out that when she looked at me she saw me like another guy with both knew that she had zero attraction to. It was definitely a blow to my ego. And it was something in the back of my head these 2 1/2 years that we have been piecing and Ring. I really wondered if she could ever get back to a place where she was attracted to me and could ever be in love with me again.

And while our sex life since Ring and piecing has been way better than it was for pretty much the whole of our marriage, I still wondered if I could ever get that girl back again that was so in love with me and so attracted to me and just thought that I was all that and a bag of chips. And the answer is yes, you can if you stay patient, follow the process and remain committed to your changes and consistent in them.

I could have given up at any point since we started Ring and piecing. And those that have followed my threads know that I have almost done that on a couple of occasions. That is where the patience comes in, Do nothing rash. Do not act on flights of fancy. Be consistent, committed, and stay the course.

And also require consistency from your WAS too.
