Well, it's been a while since I posted and things have progressed to the point that we can truly say that we have a new and improved marriage. My wife is still doing everything possible to prove her continued trustworthiness, respect and love, and she is also working very hard to regain her self-esteem, which has the added positive effect of lessening her depression. I'm doing very well myself, and sometimes can go days without thinking of the affair. My oldest daughter will be married next month, and my younger girl is re-bonding with her mother, so our kids seem to have weathered the storm very well. Certain aspects of our recovery are becoming a part of our renewed commitment ot each other. Every month she asks if I want her to take another polygraph, but I haven't felt the need since March, and doubt if I will do it again. We are two completely different people now and have a relationship that is uncanny in it's depth and intensity. I now feel like she is completely mine in a way that I never felt , even before the affair. I am so thankful for MB and all it has taught us. We have returned to church and my wife now takes communion with a glad but humble heart and I can say to everybody here, that I DO have a wife to be proud of.
