Nothin' like spending 3 days with WAS to detach!

[Dr.mom]

Well, my my. Just had to check in and tell y'all about my weekend.

Well, he did it. He joined me on the Retrouvaille marital retreat this past weekend. What an absolutely amazing, and wonderful program. I can't recommend it enough. Any of you, if you can get your spouses there, beg, plead, use duct-tape, just get them there!

Wow, 3 intensive day together. I got a lot of feedback from him and answers to many of the questions that have been swirling about my head for the past 5 months of our separation.

I can't quite report back on the outcome. My husband is a little slow on the uptake. He dredged up a lot of repressed angst, and I am going dark to let him "process" this info. He was pretty walled off and in denial, so this may be a lot of info for him.

Nothing interesting came out, affairs, etc. etc. so no good gossip there.

However, I want to comment on the phenomenon I experienced. I have not seen my WAH very much for 5 months, an hour in counseling here, an evening date there. Traveling for 3 hours and spending 3 days together was an eye opener. I DON'T EVEN LIKE HIM!!!!!!!

He has gotten really weird, superficial and way too obsessed with his looks. He cannot make conversation, he can be socially embarrassing. You forget about all their weird mannerisms. Oh my, what a blessing in disguise! I am finally able to truly detach!

Free at last! Free at last!!!

I'll still stand for this marriage, but sheeesh, this certainly makes it easier to sleep at night!
