Many, many thanks to all who took the time to read, and to those who posted you lifted my spirits immensely. This truly is a wonderful community. Where's the party thread?
I have to work a good part of today, but am going out for drinks with a friend tonight. Small, but important. I'll be treating myself to some Bruce Springsteen tickets when they go on sale later this fall--belated birthday presents. Love Bruce's music--it consoles me, but also provides joy.
Lissie, the horoscope looks dead on! Thanks for posting that.
Overall, I'm doing pretty well at the GAL and personal transformation stuff that I needed to work on long ago. Whether it's too late for my marriage, we'll see. I'm not running out. She'll have to pull the trigger, though at times I wonder if she'd like me to do so to relieve her of the guilt I think she's feeling. Doing so would affirm that I don't love her enough, which is BS but that's part of her reality.
I still believe in my marriage, and believe we can be good for one another. Still, some days this MLC stuff is damn hard! I worry that I don't, or won't, know her. Some days it's hard to see the road back, but I still believe that such a road exists out there somewhere. In the meantime, all I can do is work on myself, GAL, and watch her stream by in MLC! I've avoided most of the serious mistakes people make, thankfully. It seems like there's little one can do to improve things, but a LOT we can do to make it worse. We don't talk much at all, and I'm not forcing things. She hasn't talked divorce, so maybe all I can do for now is work on myself and wait for MLC to run its course. I'm not naive, however, as she may never come back.
