GD, my original posts were July 1st & 2nd under Walk Away Wife Syndrome titled "Wife moved out Friday". What I did is make you one of my watched users, then it lists all your posts, so I can follow up from the beginning, I've read your sitch.
I know how you feel when you say everything is stagnant. The same for me, although my wife has called me 3 times since yesterday to ask how I was doing since I lost my job, I thought that was nice. I told her this morning when she dropped my son off, "Thanks for checking up on me", and she smiled very warmly as she backed out of my driveway.
Here I sit, out of work, feeling a little low, but I'm not going to carry that on long (I hope). I will take a little break this weekend, then try to get back in the saddle Monday, re-do my resume, look around online, call a couple of contacts, maybe this was supposed to happen to me to take my mind off my W a little.
Not to whine about it, but I feel (as I'm sure you do too) that I'm a good guy who's been kicked while I'm down, the only difference between our sitch's is that my W is by herself, no EA of PA, and she doesn't want one, but I'm not financially set as you are, I'm okay, no debt aside from my mortgage and I've got a few bucks in the bank, but I need to work fairly soon. But nonetheless, we have both been hit hard with burdens. GD, Before your current sitch, did you think you had the world by the ba!!s? I felt that way, I felt blessed, lucky, fortunate, I want to get that feeling back. I also want to help others, I have started to, but I want to be as kind to others as you have been to me, helping me through it, I feel like I'm on that 'ol roller coaster ride again, I had just gotten off it, now I'm back on. If you want any advice from me, please ask, sometimes just bouncing things off each other really helps. Your words "Pity Party" was very well put, it has stayed with me.
LOST, are you LOST?, Gone Dancin' & I want to help you,
