Yes, Rachael. She’s trying. In fact, I think she’s been trying for quite awhile now. OR just got so messed up that neither of us could find the right things to try. Somehow, I think that things have turned a corner, though.
Actually, I think that things are changing quite quickly.
I think that W has pulled some trust out of the sky, and is starting to confide in me more. She’s actually asking for my advice on certain things, which were stickling points for us before.
For example, MF’s W is having major issues with my W’s relationship with her H. Since I kinda had the same issues, my W could never talk to me about it w/o placing her and MF on one side of the issue(s), and allying me with his W.
Sometimes, I happen to be alone with MF’s W while MF and my W are together. When that happens, my W asks me what we talked about. W used to accuse me (and MF’s W) of “pumping each other up.” But I think she believes me when I say I’m not trying to do that.
So now, she asks me for my take on why MF’s W doesn’t like her.
As far as physical intimacy goes, things are moving ahead, too. About 2 years ago, W told me that if we never had sex again, she wouldn’t miss it.
Then, about 3 months ago, she said…

But she backpeddalled on that about a month ago when she told me that I’ve “always” (gawd I hate that word) put too much importance in sex.
Then, a couple of days later she appeared to reverse herself again, and told me she would take steps to get her libido back.
Yesterday, she said she was ready to try "it" again. It didn’t happen, folks, but she’s trying.
