Last week I never thought I'd be here. I though "Surviving" was going to be my final resting place. My mind and heart were looking forward to a new future, and it did not include W. Our D-Day was Monday.
W looked like she had what she wanted. Away from me and our problems, and happily with OM. I did everything I could, and was as patient as I could be, but W didn't look like she ever looked back and I had nothing left. But then it happened. I still don't know why now, after everything that has happened. She wanted our marriage back.
The alien is gone. The W I knew and loved has woken back up. Today she said "I know I did so many things that hurt you, and I am going to spend the rest of my life convincing you it will never happen again."
So here I am. In "Piecing". The last seven months have given us a chance to start working on the issues that got us here in the first place. A first step of many, but finally in the right direction.
Everyday, like a power station You know it isn't good I know you're burning too much wood Oh, and you burn out The twisted irony is Your ashes come home to me Come home to me

I am so glad to see you here, G! I love what W said to you today, too. She is back and the alien is gone. Now comes the really hard work, but I KNOW that you are more than able to handle it! You have shown her what a strong, wonderful, compassionate man you are--one who is not afraid to love while standing firm on what you believe.
Great job, my friend!

For that you get a double. Thanks, smw - your support has meant a lot to me. And jen, thanks for stopping by, too. But yes, I do not want to blind myself to the work ahead. A labor of love.

Just stopping by to see that you leave dangling threads everywhere. Are you just hoping a nurse will come by and clean them up for you? lol Babysteps will get you where you need to be.

I wanted to be sure people could follow a link to this thread, since it was in a different forum. And kat, if you hadn't found me - I would have had to hunt you down!

Why are you still up? You should be sound asleep with thoughts of your lovely W dancing in your head. So are you sort of dating now or how does all of this work? BTW I would never had made you hunt for me.

Good! Maybe the tequila will make my headache go away! De nada on the support, you ahve been there for me, too. that is the point, sn't it? Of course, we all find certain people we can relate to more than others, but even still.
I am looking forward to watching you and W rebuild and planning my own trip here at some point in the future.
