OK, made it through Thanksgiving and the long weekend. Spent some really good time with the kids. We saw Mr. Magorium's Emporium--cute kids' movie with no heaviness (although the old man "dies"--he puts it as being ready to leave), makes it seem like he decides to go on a new adventure). The apprentice is sad, the store is sad, but they TURN THE PAGE on their adventure to start something new. My son made the connection to what we are going through. _______________
I took my profile off of the dating sites. There was one persistant gentleman who emailed me a few times. He was attractive, lived nearby.... long story short, we started IMing, then talking on the phone, then met for coffee.
His divorce was final in Aug 06. Similar sitch to mine (cheating spouse, wouldn't work on the M, etc.) It was good to talk with someone who has been through it all and came out the other side (the compliments haven't hurt, either!) May not be Mr. Right in the long run, but Mr. Right now is fine. I'm not looking into the future at all with this; just living the moment. Its good to have the company.
I am going to be fine on the other side of this journey with my H, whatever the results may be. I am finally feeling that. Do I wish that the M would work? More for my kids than myself at this point. I know that I can't do a single thing more to bring it there. I don't know if H will, or can, do what would be required to reconcile. So, I go into the D collaborative meeting on Fri, paperwork and research done, and letting things go where they will.
