Divorcebusting.com Forums Open Forums Piecing Our Marriage Back Together Again Our group Support thread.....NO "R" Talk allowed

Having dinner w/ a long-time friend tonight. She's been down this path ahead of me (minus the violence) and offers much wisdom.
Her XH and the new wife still attend the same church. When people ask my friend if they know, or are related to them, she replies, "Nope. Different family."
The kegals sound like a good idea, too. Never know when they might come in handy. Peace.

Alot of things going on this week. I know it is just an excuse but I am sticking to it. I just got back from the gym. One day is better that none..........

Lets see if I can do it all week

I haven't posted for awhile here!!
Haven't taken my dog for a walk in ages the weather is not helping! Its very cold right now!
But we did buy a bowflex last week and it arrived yesterday! so we will be starting with that soon, just don't have the time for the gym! So i hope this will make it easier!
Hope to get it set up on the weekend!

Has anyone had a success with this?

Hey Limbo,

Thanks for posting and making me think about it agian.

Doc

I have also been working out. I have been for 10 years or so, but only the past year where I truly developed consistency and have not allowed complacency to rob me of any gains I had made.

Continue to work on self help/spiritual development, which for me is something that goes hand in hand. I may fall off the horse, but I get back on. Like the gym, have kept all my gains which is very motivating to stay on track.

Re-discover my passion for music and started to (finally) learn how to play the guitar. I must have bought 20 CDs in the past month alone (the entire Palm Desert, CA music scene rocks - get into it, you will be much cooler!!! All hail Eagles of Death Metal, Queens of the Stone Age, Fu-Manchu, Kyuss, Nebula, etc)

I have joint custody of my son. Our relationship is growing so strong and I am so proud of who he is growing into. Such an amazing little kid, love him to death! We have lots of fun together. When he is over, my life is all Pixar movies, superheros, playdough, a couple more visits to McD's and Chuck E Cheeses than mom would probably like, and outtings to various kid friendly spots in the Phoenix area. We are having a blast! I will miss him when he goes off to school so I am soaking up this time as much as possible!

With 35th b-day around the corner, I have gotten in touch with my inner metro-sexual and have started using products I never dreamed I would ever use. But they work and my hair and skin look better than it has in years!

All in all, 2008 was a very rough year for me but I still managed to keep myself productive. No where to go but up in 2009 and I am (finally) genuinely happy with my life and have regained my overall optimistic world view. :-)

EAZ,

You sound wonderful!

Hello, well I have started my driving lessons again and this time I am determined to keep them up.

I am going to join a yoga class too and get healthy.

i'm going to dance venues and lessons to practice my ballroom dancing without my W. I used to depend on her for security. I'm working on developing my own network of lady dancers, so that I can go to a favorite venue, and have people to connect with. I'm taking responsibility for developing my own dance skills, and am not relying on my W to be available, as her partnership is unpredictable.

I've also reconnected with the writing and literary community I belong to, by attending a poetry reading this past week. I currently write alone, but want to be in a community of fellow writers and literary lovers.

I also am a dog owner and take care of my 8 month old sheep puppy dog.
