M 19 years, MC for 8 months, DB'd for 8 months 4 kids; 18, 15, 14, & 10 I was never meant to be a doormat. It took me years of therapy to become assertive enough to stop his abuse.
"Go find the making her happy site and you will understand what FG is talking about better." Would help if Neil had the link right here. Right click on the book symbol at the top left of the post and choose "Copy Link Location". Then paste in the message you are creating.
"You are thinking about other outside influences........well, they may have the same affect on her as you were having.....ever thought of it that way?" Do you mean OMs? Casual enablers (the divorced "you go girl" types)? The high minded pastors and pillars of society? Or God who hates divorce because of the damage it does? All of the above?
sandi, FG, cookie, PDT...thank you. Right now i just want to keep my PMA when i see my W. As long as i do that now, i can restart the building process of ME. regain my confidence.
thank you.

i actually like brocoli. try.....brussel sprouts. blech
thank you for the atta boys SC...
sandi- just so you know, i don't want to date anyone else. although i know it would make my W jealous...her comments have indicated as such. but that's not what i want to do. i think (hope) it'll be easier to detach once i don't see her. which i won't now for at least a couple of days. i have the girls thru sunday morning now..... as of late, i've seen her just about every day...

Ahhhhh Sweetie. Rough couple of days I see. Really take the things you've been told to heart. Take care of Neil. Be the best thing that has every happened to you.
BTW, what everyone wrote to you was very helpful for me to read. Even the WAW have pearls of wisdom for this DAW.
Just don't touch the hot stove Neil. Touching a hot stove burns and hurts like heck. Going down the cheeseless tunnels hurts. Don't do it. Write down in your solutions journal what didn't work and start working on what will. That starts with you, sweetie.

Even broccoli-eaters have their "cheat days." Take a day (or two) to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for your relationship, just do for YOU, recharge your batteries and come back to recommit to the battle.
