Well, Things have been going very well with my ex. I am feeling better than ever about her intentions and the work she has domne to change. Now, one remaining issue is my own mother. She is very uncomfortable with my seeing my ex because of how she left me before and how it affected me. I know she is looking out for my good, but this could get pretty hairy if this continues. I have told her how I feel and she won't tell me not to do what I'm doing, but she also makes it clear that she doesn't approve. My ex's family is just the opposite - they're happy that she wants to work with me, but they never agreed with us splitting anyway so that's not a surprise.

As for how we've been doing lately, it's been great. She's been telling me when she appreciates things I've done for her and she has been supportive of my needs. At this point although she's the one that originally left, I find myself having trouble accepting everything although that is definitely getting better.
