Walkin' down this rocky road Wondering where my life is leadin' Rollin' on to the bitter end Finding out along the way What it takes to keep love living You should know how it feels, my friend
Ooh, I want you to stay Ooh, I want you today
I'm ready for love Oh baby, I'm ready for love Ready for love Oh baby, I'm ready for love
Now I'm on my feet again Better things are bound to happen All my dues surely must be paid Many miles and many tears Times were hard but now they're changing You should know that I'm not afraid
Ooh, I want you to stay Ooh, I want you today
I'm ready for love Oh baby, I'm ready for love I'm ready for love Oh baby, I'm ready for love Oh, for your love

W gave me the run down of last nights outing with her friends. Everyone has major crap going down in their life. MMF's kids are giving him problems, Bestie GF is considering dumping her new BF because he doesn't seem to have enough time for her. His kids and family always come first.
The guys said she needs to find a BF with no kids. The girls quickly retorted "Do you know how hard it would be to find that in guys our age?"
It took all my willpower to not hop up and down waving my hand in the air like a school kid trying to get teacher to call on me.

GF is W's age, almost as pretty, and was only M for about a year... 10 years ago, and is still looking! Is W even paying attention here!!!
My dear wife, in case you haven't noticed, I'm right here and ready for love.

It's been many years since any of us have looked to see "what's out there". If her single gf is having trouble finding the perfect man then I'm sure your w paying attention. Personally, I don't think your w is looking for a replacement. Like the others said, she'd be gone by now if she were.
It's just a matter of time before she realizes this and that what she wants is right there living with her. Your w will figure it out. She's almost there...in mlc time. Let's see that's one day multiplied by.......
Did you get a bike ride in today?
Btw, love the song, so appropriate for all of us.

Thanks NLT! W and I spent much of the day together today. Did some chores, went grocery shopping, even talked some! When we got home I installed all the new electrical outlets and covers that she bought for "her" bedroom. She liked it and thanked me. Now she's out with GF, and yes I did go out for a night ride. I have some really nice lights.

I sold my classic muscle car last night. A 1974 Chevy Nova with a hot V-8 that I've had for a long time, but was kinda tiring of keeping. W and I took it out for a final drive together, I let her drive back. Unfortunately, there was no making out in the back seat.
No plans for any other cars right now. My feeling is to simplify across the board, invest our money and wait. We'll see.
We seem to be in a better place right now. W is happy, seemingly more content. There's been more interaction and talking between us lately. It almost seems like she may be warming up to me a bit. I sure hope so.
Today is W's B-day! She took the day off work so the flowers in a ceramic pumpkin I'm sending her will come to our home. (darn, I wanted to send 'em to her work) The card will say "You're not getting older, you're getting bolder! Love FY".
Her only plan so far was to meet up with LS for breakfast.
I made reservations for dinner at a nice restaurant. The something new will be throwing out more talk about the future. Oh, and there will be some experimental touching. Trust me, I know what I'm doing here... If I don't update tonight it's because we're busy in bed.
My sister (not LS) usually hosts Thanksgiving day for my entire family. She threw it out there that she was hoping someone else would do it this year. W stepped up and accepted! So that will be a huge project we'll get to work on together. Yay! Bust On y'all.

Hey FY, 74 Nova - cool car. But good for you for wanting to simplify. They say we collect things the first 50 years and get rid of them the next 50 - LOL!
I think it was best the flowers went to the house instead. A lot of pressure sending them to her workplace.
And I see some good stuff there.
I trust that you know what you are doing. You know I am being you with doing something different. I think your plan is solid.
Keeping my fingers crossed, saying my prayers and wishing with everything I have that things go the way you want them to, my friend.
FY, I'm sure your w will love the flowers and the dinner you have planned. I'm sure everything will go just fine and who knows where the conversation will go if you are discussing future plans.
She's slowly waking up if she's stepped up to the plate and has offered to do the hosting for Thanksgiving Day. That a huge step in the right direction.
We all will be anxious to hear how the day goes. You are doing great!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
edit...you know I am with you on doing something different.

Ok, FY, I was thinking about you today. Yea, I know, dont say it. Get used to it, that's how I am with my friends.
Anyway, I was thinking that you know your w best. And your sitch is a little different in that there isnt an OM and she is so transparent. And you guys do stuff together.
Thats why I am thinking it's a good idea. But, I have to tell you, I am a little nervous for you. I want so much for something to shift for you. Ok, I will leave that wide open for you, T2 or Raine.
So, remember, no expectations.
Sending all good thoughts, prayers, luck your way, my friend.
