Paul...<P>I'm happy for you. Like airheart says, watch for the withdrawals. Keep doing the Plan A. It will show her that she made the right decision and came home to a wonderful man. Best of luck towards your marital recovery!

Paul, That is great news!!! Take it slow and easy. This is the place to come when you want to vent or feeling frustrated. Tow book I have just finished might help a little. "Surviving Infidelity" by Rona Subotnik and Gloria G. Harris, and "Getting Back Together" by Bilicki and Goetz. Like everyone else has already said watch out for withdrawal. My prayers and thoughts are with the two of you as go down this road together. And that is the important thing to remember together! I am so happy for you both. Paul read Survivingloss---sosad's thread. It might helpyou understand what you W will be going through during the withdrawal.<P>------------------<BR>di<P><p>[This message has been edited by SDS (edited October 13, 1999).]

Wow! That's great! Listen to the advice here...you will be tempted to want to fix everything right away. Be sure to be what SHE needs right now. There is time later to fix all the little things (you never fix me coffee, etc.) Just learn how to be friends again and relax and have some good times together.

Paul,<BR>I'm happy for you too !<BR>Hang in there, don't read too much into what she says and does as she will be trying to sort out what she has done and what she needs to do. She probably will be trying to save some face, so she may be cool towards you and beating herself up inside.<P>Just be there for her!
