Thank you very much Lost, I am doing better today. As you mentioned, words of encouragement on this forum, reading a book or listening to a podcast keep me going, too. Especially the loving, caring people here.
I think I am going to more "Meetup" events but we stay away from the bars.
I really appreciate your kind words of encouragement. I'll have to check on your sitch...I believe it's been a while.
Thanks again.

Bob - getting caught up on your sitch. Glad to see how you rebounded from the low. Seeing other couples is a trigger for me too. Just makes me realize how much I miss my companion.
You are a great person bob, with a big heart. You deserve to have someone cherish that and be genuinely excited about the time they get to spend with u. Maybe your ww comes around and down the road you get there or maybe it's someone new you have no idea they even exist right now, who knows?
Keep gal and doing meet ups. Pushing yourself can only help. You continue to be an inspiration and thanks for all the support.
You are right, you CAN do this!

Hi again Rip,
Thank you for the encouragment and the extremly nice compliments--you're an awesome guy! I agree with you..it could be with my WW or someone else. Who knows? It helps me to know others feel the same way about seeing couples together having a good time. Thank you for opening up about that.
Someday, you and I will be past all this nonsense and look back and wonder what we were so upset about. Someday. For now, one little step at a time.
You know what, my friend? I CAN and will do this . . . and so will YOU.
Have a great evening.
Bob

Yes, you CAN and WILL do this. It's difficult, no doubt about it but we'll all be ok. I have to be honest here I feel a million time better now than I did just a few months ago. I can be in her company without crumbling and I can also get through the day quite happy without thinking about my sitch. It took a bit of time and a considerable amount of will power but I did it. These boards help of course.
Have a good day.

Thank you all very much for checking in and the encouraging words. I get so much encouragement here, I'm not sure how I would've made it this far without such loving, caring people here.
I have been so busy at work, this has been my first chance to log in. And, in a few minutes, I'm doing another GAL activity - going to a movie with one of the Meetup groups I joined.
I hope to be online more tomorrow.
I love you all . . .
Bob

Hi Bob, I'm sorry I wasn't around this weekend when you were feeling low, but it seems many people were around to remind how much you matter around here. I'm also glad to hear that you found a better match in the other Meetup.
It's hard with the triggers we need to deal with sometimes. We'll be cruising along thinking we're doing awesome, and then something slams into you and you realize that we really are on a long road with valleys along with peaks.
Just keep talking on here and we'll keep supporting and virtually hugging you!

Hi Eirinn,
That's okay, you have a ton going on. I wasn't logged in much this past weekend or yesterday. And you're right, many others on this board made me feel so much better!
I feel you put it so well about triggers...many peaks and valleys it seems like at times. But hey, we are going to all make it. Either we will R with our S or we won't. Either way, we'll be better and stronger people having gone thru such a journey.
Last night, I saw a movie with yet another Meetup Group. It was the same group that I went for a mansion tour with 2 Saturdays ago. It was an awesome court drama movie.
I like your advice at the end. Let's all keep posting on here and supporting each other. It's hard for someone who has never been thru a divorce or separation to understand.
Heck, I'll take all the real and virtual hugs I can get.
Thank you so much for checking in on me and taking the time to post.

Thanks, Bob! I was just responding to Zephyr and it seems like we're all struggling with peaks and valleys right now. Maybe it's the time of year, more light, who knows?
I've been wondering, what exactly is a Meetup Group. I've never heard of them before. They sound fun!
