well, my S is 4 and he's swinging clubs made for 9-12 year olds like they were part of his body. He's an amazingly coordinates little boy! Should be fun (or funny, more like) to go play this afternoon.
I found this on the boards and really liked it:

remaining open to reconciliation is very different from "waiting" in that you can make healthy choices for yourself and your children without closing any doors re. your spouse.
remaining open to reconciliation and having it as a goal is indeed very different from being frozen in time, pining by the phone waiting for her to announce her intentions, or watching endlessly for the front door to open. I'm realistic I think in believing that there will likely be many more bumps ahead, but I feel stronger than ever to deal with them as they arise.
There are lots of great reasons to try to restore love in a relationship, especially when there are children involved. Even if your marriage was lacking before the threat of divorce, there are good reasons to try to bring love into the marriage. You have been doing the right and honorable thing. You have been wise. Rather than give up your morals and values and question why a person would want to save a marriage, I suggest you tell yourself that you've been nobly fighting for something that is worth fighting for.

WAWs assume that their husbands are to blame for the lack in their own lives - as individuals. Your partner wasn't making you unhappy. The truth is, the way you were interacting was making you unhappy. So you need to make a concerted effort to stop the bad habits, or you'll repeat the same mistakes next time! You will have to change. SO WHY NOT TRY IT OUT NOW - WHILE YOU HAVE A MARRIAGE!
We can talk ourselves into defeat or we can talk ourselves into victory - we are creatures of our thinking.
