My wife has just started talking to me about other things (her job, her mom, etc..) other then just talking about our son. I feel like she has opened the door (maybe) just a tiny bit.

I am thinking of making her a DVD of some of the pics we took over the course of the marriage. Pics of our marrige cermenony, our trips together, our children, us, all the good times.

I was going to put two songs in the backround that pretty much say how I feel.

Have the pics fade in and out telling a story of our good times together and how great our marriage once was...

I was going to stuff it in our childs stuff with "Play Me" written on it..

I wasn't going to mention it at all unless she brings it up..

Good idea or bad idea?/ Think this can be viewed as pressure or too pushy ??

I think good idea. I think I'll do the same for my wife.

What is a good prog to use to mke the DVD?

I think with out trying to pressure too much, if she sees it, she will be curious and play it. At the beginning, maybe put a picture or something that will grab her attention. At the very end you could maybe put a nice family picture and put on it "Because I love you and you're worth it!!" and then have the picture slowely fade away.

i think any woman would appreciate something like that from her husband.

I can tell you, as an FWW, looking at photos of the "good times" actually helped turn me around from the "should I stay or should I go" to "I really should stay." Made me realize what a great thing H and I had going and what a stupid choice it was for me to have gotten myself into an A. I was in real conflict one day and just happened to pick up the album... started looking at the photos and just started to cry. It was one of a few things that helped push me into recovery.

I am actually going to make a Powerpoint presentation first. After I burn that to a CD, I am going to have a local company convert it to DVD.

My compmany had them to the same thing with a bussiness presentation.

CBH - she has been gone now for almost 6 months. I don't know if she is even thinking about "us" at this point. I think she does sometimes wonder if she did the right thing. But, she has never even hinted to me that she has thought about it. Its more her actions (not pushing for a divorce, keeping stuff here at the house, etc.). I could be wrong though.

The anger seems to have gone down some and I just wanted to let her know that even still to this day, I haven't given up and I am still willing to work on this.

I think she is discovering that "single" isn't all its cracked up to be and seeing a married man might not be all that great!!

Thanks for your input....

I just found a local company thats willing to do it pretty cheap. They are actually excited to want to do it because its not the same ol' boring stuff they usually do ...

They are cutting the price more than half !!!

I can't wait to sit down and put it together...

Its going to be a real "show-stopper" when I'm done....

Hopefully, it will jar just a little bit in her mind...

Great idea. GO for it - and let us know how it turns out.
