Thanks for dropping by. I guess I haven't updated recently. I did spend some time in newcomers yesterday trying to help if possible.
Things are good with my SO and I. We had a fight and a big discussion about what we are doing and basically I came to the same point you did M. I've made the choice to have a relationship with my XW and so I would commit to it. By the way, those feelings I had before have subsided. I feel in love and I also feel loved. We might both have our insecurities, but the difference this time around is that we are open with each other and that helps. And yes, she's meeting me half way and sometimes comes most of the way when I'm having doubts. Honestly, things now are better than at any time I can remember in my marriage and I think the difference is in both of us.
One interesting note: When we got in a fight this weekend I did something different and handled it well--finally. She commented about it the next day and seemed appreciative and also told the counselor that she thought I did a good job. That kind of positive reinforcement is sure helpful.
