    So seeing my therapist helped some. There was at least validation for the feelings I am having so that was nice. My wife cut about 6 inches off her hair, a pretty drastic change for her. I was a little worried but she was in a good mood last night. We starting talking about wanting to keep things together, instead of still looking for divorce attorneys, which she had been doing. She even started talking about things I could do that she would be okay with and things she wouldn't be okay with. I don't know if I can be satisfied with those things, but at least it feels like progress for me.

    I'm still nervous to get my hopes up too much, though, for fear of another downturn. Each one has been darker than the last for me. I'm feeling pretty positive now, better than I have since before I came out to her. But I don't know what the next day will bring with this. But I suppose today I am cautiously optimistic.

    I was hoping for a positive update (*hug*)

    Progress is progress, as long as you guys can keep talking, it's a forward step, rushing to move your separate ways is probably a bad idea, baby steps, this is a huge change and being able to talk through it will be helpful for you both. (&&&)
