Just spent last 3 hours with wife at one of our empty rentals we've been working on. We seperated Thursday night, and have had no contact for the last two days. Asked her how<BR>New years was, got the "don't go there look".<BR>After a bit I told her I should probably leave as I felt LB coming on, but took a couple of deep breaths and stayed. Spent part of the afternoon hugging and kissing with a few tears from both of us. Sat on a paint bucket with her on my lap stroking my hair. We've shown more love and tenderness to each other the last month and a half since affair was revealed than the last 5 or 10 years. Noticed she had taken off her wedding ring. Cryed about that a bit. It seeme so near yet so far. No hate, anger, or abuse. Just seperation and an ongoing affair. Just staying with Plan A. <BR> Thanks All for listening <BR>

Gale,<P>Way to go on the no LBs. That is what this emotional game of chess is all about.<P>I couldn't handle the slightest bit of intimacy right now, I would get too turned on. I guess that is a positive.<P>Keep showing her that you are a safe place. Even though it may not seem like it those things register they just won't open the door.<P>Keep doing what your doing, and don't forget alot of plan-p, as Jim likes to call it.<P>Bill<P>"commit to the Lord what ever you do, and your plans will succeed" Proverbs16:3<P>------------------<BR>BB<BR>
