The 50k foot background on my situation (there's many other posts that are more detailed):<P>W is in A. We've been separated for three weeks. She's with OM. I'm working with Steve and in Plan A. SH seems to think that I'm doing well with Plan A.<P>Here's the latest:<P>Called W today. Told her that I miss her. She said, "Me Too." I asked her what that meant and she didn't say anything. I got my hopes up and told her that I want her to come home and be with me. She said that she can't do that because of her feelings for OM. Then after about 2 minutes of talking about other stuff I asked her if she meant what she said and she said that it must have been a slip of the tounge.<P>My question is this: What the heck was that? I don't want to read into it any further than a slip of the tounge, but it got my emotions all stirred up.

I'm replaying every conversation I've had with my wife in the last 3 weeks to try to guess how she's really feeling. QUIT! As other's will tell you anything she says now is because she's "under the influence." Take everything with a grain of salt. When she says more than once "I want to come home" THEN you can get your hopes up. Until then just keep changing you and letting her know that you care about her.<P>The part about her agreeing that she misses you is a sign that Plan A is working. Don't think that she's ready to come home yet but as long as she's not hanging up on you or yelling, you're doing something right.<P>

You're right. It's one step at a time and I do realize the something must be working. <P>To quote NSR (Jim):"Plan A is not for wimps...Plan A requires Patience, Time, and Consistency." I'm learning all of those things on the job!<P>Thanks for the feedback. I need to remember the above as well as not to anticipate anything or read into anything.<BR>
