Mark -

It sounds like there are some encouraging signs. I imagine you are a negative thinker like most of us with anxiety disorders. If that's the case, you might not have noticed the positive things that are even embedded in your message.

First, you're taking action. You're starting this program and seeing a therapist. Both are great moves and many people have trouble even making those decisions.

Second, even though your wife didn't say for sure that she would see a marriage counselor, she also didn't say no. That means she's still thinking about it, still willing to consider it. Nothing is final.

Third, she's giving you signs that she still cares about you like the kiss goodbye in the mornings and when she tells you she loves you. Those are both very good signs.

Like I said before, she just may need some time to see that you are really making permanent, positive changes. Keep up your efforts. No matter what happens, these things surely will help to improve your relationship with your wife, even if it's not like before.

Be well,
Jamie

Thanks
I really needed your kind words. I feel like I am on a train that is out of control. I am just trying to hang on. I miss my best friend.
