DW is really starting to put effort in to showing and telling me how much she loves me and is sorry for what she did and put me through. This morning we had a fairly long talk about things that still are upsetting to me, and that we need to get through these things to really fully recover. I plagiarized a bit from another post about healing a wound involving cleaning it out so it can heal properly without a scar, rather than just letting it fester. She says she wants to do whatever I need in order to resolve this and make us better and stronger.
I told her that I feel like I need her to do more to help me heal but I'm not exactly sure what, specifically, she needs to do. She seemed to understand this but also said she's not sure what else she can do either.
I mentioned the MB stuff, and she's agreed to read and go through that if I think it might help. I was really happy that she agreed to do this, and I'm wondering which book to give her first. I'm thinking in this order: SAA, LB, HNHN coupled with the workbook I have for the LB and EN questionairres.
We also talked about how neither of us has any experience in dealing with this situation. I suggested that she might find some real support here on these boards, and that I've seen how well received other FWS's are when they're repentant and really want to recover their marriage. She seemed somewhat open to this which I hope she follows through with. I know folks like Mrs W, La La and others have walked in her shoes and could really help her find perspective and a compass to navigate our recovery.
I am really encouraged by her change of attitude, her genuine remorse and desire to improve our Marriage.
I thank all of you who have supported me through this and look forward to your continued words of encouragement and experience.
I'm really hopeful that she really is willing to work harder to get through this. I think it was W2S who referred to "making amends". I see this as seperate from the EN's being filled.
Does anyone have any suggestions I can share with FWW?
