Help me act AS IF, Thread 4

OMG, if one more person on this site tells me to take a class!!

I actually gardened for the first time ever yesterday and enjoyed it. I could see that becoming a new hobby, though I hurt my back. I GAL constantly. I have tons of friends with whom I go out regularly. I think I am still too stunned by my H really wanting to leave. I haven't been able to focus on getting my paying work done (I freelance part time at home) let alone the for-fun activities. I'm trying, though.

It is also starting to dawn on me just how much I've depended on H in that typical sex-role kind of way. He's the tool guy, the financial guy, the guy who does most of the driving when we go on long trips (I'm a city girl). Then the social aspect. We mostly socialize with other couples and families, so it's weird to think of being a single socializer.

I think when he really moves out it might be easier for me. Anyway, cw, you are doing really well and it sounds like your H is coming around in a big way, so that's great. I think my H wants me to GAL so he can feel better about leaving me.
