An update for the group. WS came over Sunday night and we cooked dinner together. She had told me earlier in the week she was wanted to move back home in two weeks. At first, she said her excitement wasn't as high as she wished.<p>Sunday, she had some great ideas about the house, about counseling, etc that made me feel as though she was getting a little more excited about it. She said she was anxious to start, but realized it was going to be a lot of work.<p>She's almost finished SAA and has finished both questionaires, which we are going to go over between us. We may schedule one telephone session with Dr. Harley, but ultimately are trying to find a local counselor that subscribes to the MB concepts.<p>In the past few days, she's been great. Her kisses have been unforced, her demeanor has been better and overall I'm actually seeing her in a light that I haven't in a long time. She let me know that OM called over the weekend, though didn't leave a message. I think she's been honest about it the past few weeks, telling me when he's called. She knows that ultimately, that if he continues anymore attempts at contact, she'll have to send no-contact letter.<p>So, I'm optimistic. Not doing the happy dance quite yet, but nonetheless am excited that I didn't have to resort to Plan B. I was at the absolute edge, ready to if she was going to waffle. I'm in the process of planning a get away to Mexico for the two of us that I think will do wonders for us. <p>I'm still praying daily for my marriage and everyone elses--<p>We are looking at this as a "starting over" per se, which is if you think about it.<p>God bless,<p>Guido

Thanks everyone for the support!! I plan on staying around for awhile, as this is hardly over yet. <p>Orchid--Yes, I will take it slowly, as extremely difficult as that is for me. I realize that is necessary to have gradual changes. I think that she will be more willing to give me feedback and vice versa this time around. Also, you need to get yourself a flu shot next year and you won't have those nasty problems. I call on docs, I suppose that makes me an expert [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Redhat--you da man. You've been the rock--keep it up. Hopefully, your WS will see what she's got to lose. I appreciate the quick responses you've given, especially in times of crisis.<p>Everyone else--thanks much for support, help, listening to me whine and complain etc.<p>I truly hope that my updates will be positive and great, as opposed to telling about Plan B or Plan D. I've certainly given it 110%.<p>God bless,<p>Guido [img]images/icons/cool.gif" border="0[/img]
