Quote: How are things going with extended family? I wonder about that myself, b/c while XW and I are moving toward better terms, her family remains rather simply 'hateful'. How are your family and hers responding to the reconciliation
I actually have skirted the issue with my family. I haven't told them officially yet that we are back together. Pretty terrible hunh? Before this came up, they were a little "disappointed" I guess, but said they supported whatever I did. I did tell my BIL that the forgiveness was mine to give and no one else's so everyone would just have to understand that. I don't worry too much about my family.
As for her family, they've always supported getting back together. They are completely supportive. I think a big part of that is that my X didn't do a whole lot of slinging mud at me to her family. She was closelipped about the whole thing. And when she decided to try again, she absolved me of pretty much everything. She said that it was her fault and not mine.
Anyway, Vinces, yes we divorced in May 2005.
