My Story - Looking for help and support

[SRTogacihC]

Well she got home last night and was very apologetic and in a good mood. She was very proud of herself and thought the night went well and said her and OM are now just friends again. Says this is not going to be a weekly date thing or anything. Just wanted to see him so they could talk and move on.

OM is still a little freaked out and does not understand how/why I would even allow her to see him at all. Of course that would be my preference but allowing her this freedom and trusting her is seeming to make a world of difference. We really seem to be reconnecting and she has shown me a lot more what seems like genuine affection. I still am hoping that he will become less of a friend to her if he realizes she is no longer romantically interested in him.

Now that she seems to be coming back to me my big goal is to change our relationship so we do not fall into the same old rut. I really plan on concentrating on myself and not being so dependent on her for my happiness. We start MC on Thursday and hopefully that helps provide some permanent lifestyle changes.

I still hurt a lot and getting over the A is still going to take me some time but at least I feel some optimism. I read a lot of people trials and tribulations on here and at least feel like I have better luck than some and we have a good chance of working through this.

One day at a time...
