I was dealing with a new potential client before this separation happened. I'm typically not the "usual salesman" type, I'm more the technical guy. I was really confident in talking with this new potential client. Excited about his project.
After some of the posts on here about "growing a new set", I've been thinking back about my past successes. My largest client is probably the one that I pursued the least. In fact, I talked very confidently with him but I was really pursuing his boss at the time and he was kind of in the way. I ignored him a lot. (Not in a bad way.) Shortly after that he came to me wanting assistance on projects at his new job. I had no idea he was leaving at the time, otherwise I probably would have pursued him.
Also, when I met my wife I really had no intentions of marriage with her. It was just fun times. I was never mean to her, but I didn't roll over like a puppy dog.
I was confident. I had a great job, I was a v.p. and incharge of the most profitable division in the company. I was the youngest member of the board of directors in the history of the 50 year old company. The company had 125 employees, it wasn't a huge company, but it wasn't a two man opperation.
What the hell happened to me? How did I lose that confidence and excitment. I've got to get that back.......

We don't have dissolution in our state. If we get to divorce time, I think it's best to just hammer it out between ourselves and then have our lawyers review the plan. However, I'm NOT going to agree that divorce is the answer and I'm not going to file. She quit, I didn't.
