I'm so happy (and envious of your newly-discovered emotional connection) that it made me all weepy this a.m. to read your news.
What a wuss I am. Thanks for sharing what you did/could with us about this milestone. I'm all happy for you and melancholy for me (ah, my selfish self). MC today in about 45 minutes, thank God. Please keep us updated on this progress, I'm so grateful for success stories like yours. You have worked long and hard to cross this line, and it by no means came without great effort on your part. I am so proud of you (and your W, for stepping out of the comfort zone).
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Is 43:18-19
If it seems slow in coming, wait. It's on its way. It will come right on time. Hab 2:3
This is starting to feel like I won an Oscar or something...and I'd like to thank all the people who made this possible...lol.
Seriously, thank you all for your unwavering support. I am not out of the woods yet but I THINK that may be just my own mind playing tricks on me. No matter how well adjusted to the new reality of my life post-affair I think I am, I am still plagued by paranoia and general mis-trust of certain things in life. I don't know how long it will be before that leaves me but for now, I am VERY freaking happy to be where I am in my sitch and if it all goes to hell in a hand basket tomorrow, well, it won't be for lack of trying.
Once again, without all of you, I would NOT have been able to last this long and even though I am not posting as much as I used to, I use your strength DAILY, HOURLY and by the minute to get me through the worst of times that unfortunately still occur now, even if only in my head.
I'm very happy for you :-) To emphasize one thing, that you already recognize but shouldn't forget, this was a big breakthrough FOR YOU, putting PM into action. Very good news, it worked! Remember remember! See how much you do/don't do really does affect what happens in your R? *You* are powerful.
As for advice, in your time away, please press your wife up against the wall or side of a building in a public, yet perhaps discrete, place, put your hands in her hair, and kiss her soundly for *at least* a good 30 seconds.
GH, with the endless congrats, I'm getting tired of your sex life already ! Oh hell, we're all now living our sex lives vicariously through you ... and I'm feeling frisky tonite, big guy. Go get me some!
Hey all. Back from Minnesota w/ wife and no kids. As it was a working weekend away there really wasn't much time or energy for anything "extra" but we did have a good time.
OT, as for pressing her up against the wall, etc, she's kinda back to being weird about kissing again. The fact is that it's likely going to be that way for awhile especially since I now know how much NOT kissing bothered her. I think she just doesn't think I want to do it still, as if I am just doing it to please her. She will learn but until then I will just keep SHOWING her what I want to do until she does.
Thank you all for your encouragment. It's almost like I have my own cheerleading squad in the bedroom!

Dude, I am NOT wearing a cheerleading skirt for you no matter how much I like you
Keep up the good work!
