Well the singles life is definitely over for the Fish. It's 8:12 on a Saturday night and I am home taking care of my daughter. She has a bad headache, fever and a little congestion. W is on the way home from a business trip and she is also sick.

I will probably be in bed by 10. Long way from a few weeks ago when I was partying and playing poker until 4AM. That's ok... this is the best! I am so happy to be posting to this forum from my home.

W and I seem to be getting along well. Some small ups and downs, but it's all good. We went through a VERY brief second honeymoon phase, but that passed quickly. Hopefully that will come back, man that's a lot of fun.

As some of you know, after I left my house I have had basically no contact with other couples/friends from town. People have been runnning into me and saying... "My god, Fish, where have you been?".. I say.."Great seeing you. Can't really talk about the past 6 months. They say... "Wow.. stop by for a drink and let's talk."

It's a blast!!

Here are the rumors on my whereabouts during the past 6 months...

Witness Protection Program
International Business Assignment
Dropped out of life and headed for Maui
Prison

It's good to be home...

Any advice on piecing will be greatly appreciated. For some reason I have this awful insecure feeling that W will drop a bomb at any moment. I guess I'm just paranoid or damaged from the past. She seems to be pretty happy right now and said today that the changes I have made are apparent to her.

I guess I'll be DBing for life!

Also... I survived the 1st week home. Gave W A LOT OF SPACE! Did a bit too much texting and backslid a little on Weds night, but so far so good. Avoiding R talk at all costs!!! Nothing good will come from that sh*t. Just accepting that fact that I have taken a quantum leap in a very short amount of time and we should take a breath right now and enjoy life. No steps forward, no steps back. Just sit still Fishy boy, be patient and let nature take it's course.

I sure do say "No Problem" a hell of a lot more than I used to.

Since W is real busy right now, the original plan was for me to move back in the house in April. But things got a bit hot and heavy (2nd honeymoon), so we both agreed to me moving back home in March (2 weeks early - no big deal).

Since W agreed to the early move in.. I am playing it real cool. No pressure, no demands, a bit too much texting on my part (very excited to be home, all positive sh*t) and giving her a ton of space.

This is the hardest fu*king thing I have ever done in my life.

As each day passes, I put this further behind in my rear view mirror.
