Maybe we weren't together long enough, but I never thought my spouse completed me. I do feel that I lost myself somewhere along the way trying to please her and plan for my family's future. I forgot to take care of myself and in turn wasn't taking care of my family.
I know the feeling of not missing the W. Thinking back to recent times makes it easy to be okay with the way things are now. The only time I miss my W is when I think of the future and how I imagined it when we got married.
Keep sharing your feelings and advice. Thanks for all your help.
Hope you're having a great time out in the wilderness. Post the pictures so I can see what a mountain man you are!
I always felt that he 'completed' me. He filled a void I didn't know I had.
Role reversal is a challenge for me.. though I don't know if I'll be a high level executive. I'm pretty proud of the fixed toilet, though
The idea of the 'two lives' is so interesting. Part of mine has stayed the same... still at the same home (for the present) with my daughter and the boys when they visit.
Have fun! Thanks for having such good thoughts. Is sharing feelings a new thing?
About not missing the spouse.. for me it was not missing the tension that was so constant it felt normal. I DO miss what was good, I don't miss feeling like crap.
What I do have to remember is.. I probably think about him far more than he thinks about me. Time to GAL
