You and the others here are inspiring. I never thought I'd be here, but my W agreed to try to reconcile 25 days ago. We've had 2 therapy session, third one tomorrow. She's said she's ended her affair. Oh, and she never left. We've never been separated, but she came within inches of filing.
The 25 days have been torture for me, and reading what you say, and what others say is truly helping me understand and accept the agony of how slowly time moves. What I'm beginning to realize is that the place I'm in now is one that is no longer deteriorating, but rather, basing. As in it takes a long time to stop and turn a large ship. She's no longer steaming full speed toward a divorce, and some time is required to stop that trend and reverse course. Your personal resolve, sense of place, and peace is what I will strive for.
Thanks for your comments. I may have found a new home...
