Thanks for the nice note -- again -- and for your concern. There are times when it's nothing short of MOVING to me how much everyone on this Board cares for one another.
And yes, I know I can never go back; that's just the romantic in me speaking in those lyrics.
I'm getting very close. I guess where I'm at is, if my W would do ANYTHING, WHATSOEVER to indicate that she is ready to try to work at this . . . if I could even get a "Honey, what's been bothering you lately?" or "Why don't we ever snuggle anymore?" or I'd even settle for a snotty "Whatever happened to you reading that 'Mars and Venus' book?"... ANYTHING that says she's ready to hold up her end of the kind of ongoing struggle that I see so many of you going thru here....
I'd be up for that. I wouldn't duck it, I would speak honestly, HOM, and begin the process. But I'm not willing to go through all that pain if I'm the only one to whom it is important. For crissakes, she wouldn't even make the FIRST VISIT to the counselor that we agreed to . . . how important can it BE to her??
