Hi Randy, Just checking in with you. It definitely sounds like you are making progress. Take it slowly. I agree...it's hard to know when and how to encourage the relationship. It is the XW race, so you may just have let her initiate the discussion. Maybe some subtle matter-of-fact question like "would you like to do something Friday night?" without using the word "date" and see what kind of response you get. If it look negative, just smile and let it go. If it she responds positively, then you will be on your way.
I wish my XW was as interested in reconciling M/R like yours seems to be. We have been D for 2 months now, and I have no clue if my changes are making any impact on her at all. I did send her a plant to her work from the kids, then cards to her house (one from the kids, and one from me). The one from me was basically a "thank you" for being such a great mother. I have not heard a response from any of them. She called and left message today that she was going out of town today (last minute) and told me of where to go in her house to find what our boys will need to begin there week stay with me. I did notice both cards displayed on a shelf, so at least she let my card out.
Sorry I got side-tracked by my sitch. It's still hard how one day I am fine, PMA is fine, and then the next the pain is back. I know I just got to keep focused and worry about myself. If it was meant to be.....it will be.
Remember the serenity prayer...... God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Good luck Randy, I hope and pray you will get your W and M back. You are an inspiration to me right now. Keep up the good work.
