Quote: I've been reading about the seduction/jealousy role in winning their heart back, but I still feel it may be too close to severing the tie by allowing them to think we have 'moved' on. I'm not sold on the 'seduction' part, it seems so manipulative!
I didn't understand what do you meant by it being too close to the severing of the R, T. Do you mean that its better to look like I've moved on, and to work in the seduction/jealousy stuff later?

Put this in the long term perspective. How did things look last winter, when you had only your faith and determination, and no signs of reconsideration or even mature parenting from W? The road ahead may be long, but you have come a good distance, personally and in your R.
K, I teared up reading your post. Yes, there have been improvements. And W's MLC behavior at this time of year mirrors similar beh in prior summers. There have been improvements in the sitch and I need to remind myself of that. I've also had nice growth since then. Thanks for that reminder to look at the big picture.
