I usually post on the seperated thread. My W told me she wants our marriage to work, and she sees it happening. Some quick background W had a A about 7 months ago it went on for about 3 months. She say's she realized it was a mistake and that she does want me, she say's it's not fair to be with me at this point when she still occasionaly thinks of the OM (eventhough she has no desire to be with him because she realizes it was all an act he was putting on) She wants to be friends (I have no problem with that) and continue the relationship when I return from FL. in about 7 months she is even saying she wants to live with me at that point. My big questions are how do I get get past the awkwardness of starting over again, how do I breakthrough to be able to hold her hand, kiss her, and so on? How when I know she is ready for that? If anyone has any info on peiceing a marriage back together some stuff to do and stuff to avoid any info would be appreciated.
