Guilty as charged.. I am a WAW.

hi bridge,

Well, I see your thread has devolved quickly - maybe you should join us in the Sex-Starved and Separated Forum!

WHERE is that one?? How have I missed it all these months? The forum I mean...

I just got back from class and was hoping you would've posted on how things went today. Let us know, okay?

It was emotional, there were mitigating factors with 'old friends' yesterday that made both he & I in a bad emotional place. Probably the impetus for me hi-jacking your thread about friends & consequences of WAS leaving. But we were, ironically leaning on each other for support because of their actions towards the both of us.


There really is not much to process from yesterday C session, just the emotional floodgate of going through the history of 'us' to someone who has never heard it before.

He wanted to know about how our dating went (we were 15 & 17 when we started), family history about conflict resolution (had an inward laugh at H's intepreation of that- but hey it's his POV) and how it was handled now in the relationship, the verbal abuse was never addressed.

I left it to H to bring up, he did not. When I asked him why not on the car ride, back he said "I don't do that anymore, he (the C) asked about how we handle conflict NOW."

It was interesting that the counselor never asked about why we were separated or how long we had been separated.

We got a book to read about couples communication and homework to do. We set up 6 weekly appointments.

I have grading to do today before D & I head off the golf course. She wants to drive the cart& scope out the guys, how do I tell her 'the guys' will all be 40+! I'll guess she'll find out the hard way!

S, D, H & I are headed to a lake town about an hour away as they have one of the largest fireworks displays in the area. Sitting on the dock watching the explosions over the water is so cool.
