Preparing for the end game, maybe.

Hey UA, good to hear from you and nice to know you're still keeping an eye on me. I try to follow your posts. It looks to me like you've had quite a ride, but that things are improving now. Let me know if I'm misinformed, how you're doing, and how you feel.

Things are happening fast for me or to me right now. My W has her PhD, accepted the job, and will move to AR with my D. We just made an offer on a house down there. I have started the process of selling our house here in Denver. I think this is the best plan because; financially this will get us out of debt (almost) and in a monthly surplus (if we follow the budget), W will be happy in a new job that will give her self esteem and joy, D will be well taken care of (although it kills me that she will be away from me), S will get to stay here and finish HS. I'll keep my job which has a lot of potential to be a great job.

The M/R ... who knows? There is/are a lot of positives. We are good friends now and good parents. We still sleep in separate beds, hardly ever touch, but seem to enjoy each others company. She just came back from a trip to AR to find the house. Yesterday, she thanked me sincerely for supporting her and helping her do all this. She likes me. I hope she loves me again some day (H@ll, she does love me now, but it's the ILYBNILWY stuff, maybe she'll miss me and fall in love with me again.)

I'm doing what I'd do if she were divorcing me, pretty much, so in a way I'm not taking much of a risk. The biggest difference is that if we were divorcing, I wouldn't let my D go so easily. I know my W will be a good mom though.

She is and will be happy. Maybe, with time, she will look up and wish she had someone to share the happiness with. Maybe she'll want to share it with me (scares me to think of who she might want to share it with).

I guess, being optimistic, I've got a better than 50-50 chance of saving my M (51 to 49 probably). Thanks for asking.
