Sorry Cadet. I'm not even sure if I'm started new threads correctly!

http://www.divorcebusting.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2807748&page=11

Basically had an in depth conversation today. I thought it was kind of bad. Steve said it was good.

My question from last thread was, should I text her and thank her for her honesty today, or just let it go?

Your thread is done correctly. Thanks for linking your old thread to your new one.


Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.

Let it rest for now. Positives do not mean to start pressuring and pursuing.

W came home. Made a very little small talk. Didn't mention my stupid text, and that's fine. I didn't do it to get a reaction.

She's been texting away on her phone. My brother texted me and said W texted him and SIL apologies for everything. He said she told him 'we're working on things, but not sure what will happen'. Guess that's the best I can expect for now

Small steps T, you didn't get here overnight, you aren't getting out overnight (either way it goes).

Make sure you don't slide backwards though, stay on your game and keep working on yourself.

It is not things that bother us, but the stories we tell ourselves about things.

Steve, or anyone, a quick question.

W and I are still firmly in limbo, but she seems to at least be somewhat open to MC.

When is an appropriate time to start small flirting, touching, maybe schedule a date, etc? Both of us have plans this weekend so there's little chance of any 'date' until at least next week anyway. Would it be best to give it more time, wait until MC starts (if we choose that route), wait for W to make the first move, etc?

I literally haven't made physical contact, not even a pat on the back, in 6 weeks. After lunch yesterday I wanted to hug her as we were leaving, but I didn't. My fear with MC is the counselor will have us do things like touching, dates, etc, and it'll seem too 'forced' and weird.

So Steve, I believe you said you and W are/were in MC? Can you speak a little bit of how it went?
