Hate to lay a downer on you 2L but I'm further back than square one.

Not to put too fine a point on it but not only does W not give me the affection I want, but she doesn't really want to have anything to do with me.

No sex. No affection. No morning coffee. No walks. Nada.

She did initiate an OR talk about a month ago. Something about divorce.

Oh well.

I guess I shouldn't be so pessimistic. There are some good signs.

I'm just too tired to think about it.

But it cheered me up to see your name again too.

It's kinda bitter-sweat when all of a sudden I see posts from you, Me2, Ultreya and some other people I haven't "seen" for awhile.

I'll leave you with one positive thought, though. It's something my C told me on my final session. She told me that when given the opportunity, she asks couples that have been together for a long time what their secret is. She asks them if they ever came close to splitting.

These couples invariably said that they could have broken up on many occasions. Their secret was simply to stick with it. My C also added that these couples are very happily married now.

There’s always hope.
