I have been catching up on your posts and am truly amazed by your R talk with your wife last night.




Thanks PL. I am somewhat amazed myself, lol.

f all human beings could be so unconditionally loving as you have been, the world would be such a much better place.




I don't know if all of it has been unconditional love. It's some measured parts of love, fear, strength and weakness all rolled into one with a lot of hard work binding it all together.

I see this as a very positive step, for your M but also for you. It is helpful to receive information periodically and know what's going on. Your W is beginning to get that you are on her side.




I think you are right. I needed to get caught up on things and that happened. I DO think she is figuring out that I am on her side. The bad news is that I am figuring out just how little SHE's on MY side after all this. She is working her way back but she's much farther away than I hoped.

If your W works all of this out and chooses to fully recommit to your M, you will have an amazing R because of the work you are doing. I believe that in her heart she wants this. She is just needing to strengthen her muscles in this new area of making healthy choices. Be a role model for her - make some good, healthy choices for you today!




I think so too. I think IF we work this out, we'll be GREAT. That's what I told her. I said I wanted to paint a positive picture for her because other people (OM) and her own experience with US has painted such a dull, gloomy one. She seemed to embrace my positive projection of our future. We'll see if that embrace is fleeting or something more permanent.
