No more snooping!

[JMC]

Although I read this forum every day, I have just recently taken the time to actually read the instructions for how to properly commumicate here (I would welcome any advice).

Today I chose to come here rather than continue to snoop my W's email. She went on a girls trip last weekend (boating and what not), and evidently met some guy who she seemingly is enamored with (he evidently is now overseas in Afghanastan and they have exchanged emails - of course, I only know this because of snooping). She contacts me regularly to discuss our daughter, $, or something. Friends are having a party tonight and she asked earlier in the week if I would feel awkward if she attended. I said no, we had a good discussion and she asked if I would like to get together for dinner (I am taking this as a positive baby step)

Anyway, I know what I need to do, I just have to do it. Detach and GAL. I am making inroads to GAL. I am stepping up my exercise routine as I would like to lose 10 lbs (I am 5'10" 192ish); I attend church regularly after not having done so for almost 15 years and have taken a bible study class on the Acts of the Apostles (I liked it and plan to do more). In addition to the marital situation, my employer of 12+ years is being bought out and I will most likely lose my job (we hope to find out in the next 3-4 weeks), so I will soon be in the process of looking for a new job.

Thanks for being there today. I need this outlet to help me continue to lovingly detach and not snoop. Thanks everyone!
