You sound awesome! Love hearing about your Peach Tree - boy it sure grew fast. Must've been meant to be.
I think we struggle in many many ways when we go through a D. When there are kids, homes, finances, adultery involved - there is so much to deal with - you can only live through it one day at a time. But we do get through or else we get stuck and can't move forward. I wonder if that is where CG is. Stuck. Sometimes a therapy checkup is in order.
SAHM or fulltime mom with a career - there is no shame in either - only KUDOS all around. I can't think of any Mom on this bb who didn't always put her kids first and make sacrifices in order to do so. Some of us are still doing that. For me - Ashley is still living at home and I'm paying to educate her. Ryan will ALWAYS be my primary concern in all ways as he is totally dependent. I have had the pleasure of meeting your son and know you have done a fine job in parenting.
New guy sounds interesting. One thing I learned when dating was not to spend much time in the early days discussing D issues. Best to concentrate on the moment.
And WOW - dating a florist - that could be wonderful!
CHEERS SG - I'll lift my glass of lemonade to your peach drink.
