Quick update - keeping my own thread alive? - She came home before school and initiated an R discussion, told me she had seen a WAW description in my papers and it described her to a "T", told me what I did wrong... my response was simple; I took the blame, told her I was still struggling with why I behaved the way I did, that my regrets were huge and I didn't expect her to excuse anything, and finally that I was talking to the counselor about male depression.

Her response? uncertainty about her own decision, and a judgement that I am no different than any man - even OM is annoying, and that it might not work out with him. I didn't say much about that - it tells me she might be reponding to my GAL and detachment efforts, but who knows? I'm not getting my hopes up, THAT'S FOR SURE! I think, though, the GAL plan may be working - clearly she'd like to think I'll always be here for her to come back to.

I ended the conversation with a couple "too bad it's too lates" and went to play with my son - which I'm going to go do now as well!

Any advice from you hard-core DBers? How'd I do?
