Ok we are getting somewhere. Its becoming a little more clear. First take a step back and breath. Enjoy your day and I will post some more this evening. I still gotta spin it a little (On my way to work).
Just gotta say the role reversal sucks. I see it in you stitch (situation) and I see it in mine.
Another thing I see is my tool box analogy. I see the Snap-On man brought a shiny new box with all new tools in it and you just can't wait to get to work. I am in that same place. With the same responce you are getting. You can almost taste how good things could be and the thought of never having it is killing you. It brings all kinds of weird things to the surface. Again I gotta spin that a little as I am not sure what to do with some of my weird stuff.
I never really got if the new woman was needy (like you were) or if you don't know.
Last comment... Ok he did everything for you. You placed your happiness in someone else. Got that. Understand that. What I still have a hard time with is why you needed to get away (seperate) to find yourself. I have said many times that the seperation will not resolve any problems and for me it would bring on a whole new set (read the above story). You will still have to work on the issues that you and your spouse have/had. The set of problems you left are still there. Now you have the new problems on top of that. I will post some more tonight.
Relax Eat Think Act normal React.. Smartly. Do something different. Emulate. Do Work.
