Yep starting my 13th thread here. When I started my last thread I said, "I've locked up so many I can't count any more. ". So this time I went back and counted. 13, wow I didn't realize it was that many. I always wore #13 in sports because I was thumbing my nose at bad luck. Maybe by the end of this thread I'll have great news to report.
It's now been over 14 months since she declared I love you but am not in love with you and 13(that # again) months of separation. So much has happened in the last year plus, good and bad. But here we are slowly proceeding forward looking to see if we can build something new and wonderful together.
I don't recall if it was in one of Michele's books or another book I read but the rule of thumb counselors often use for the timeframe on repairing/rebuilding marriages is 1 month for every year of marriage. Hmm, does that mean we've got 4-5 more months of this? Honestly when I first read that way back when I doubted it greatly, well not now!
We had our usual Wednesday lunch today. She was very talkative but I wasn't. Why, I had just gotten the latest invoice from my lawyer. Great now I owe someone else money. That sure made it hard to be upbeat and positive but I did the best I could. In the end it was a good lunch, I just enjoyed the time together and I think she did too even if we had to discuss our insurance bills. Yes our homeowners, vacation homeowners and auto insurance are all due this month. Yep owing even more money now. Well that's life and we make the best of it!
