Hey Pal, my name is Joe and Im an FF as well in Canada.
Ah...welcome to the show??? Nah thats sick! How about you got an IAFF brother that is exactly in the same boat you are.
You can read up on my story in Newcomers forum under Im so lost with out her and in the Walk Away Wife syndrome forum under hanging on by a thread. If you want to that is.
My wife is threatening to sell our place so we can seperate but I am holding out to the bitter end on that. She believes she will better off on her own raising our 2 girls that way and will be happy. While we are living under the same roof, the last week has been hell for us, especially me because I snapped the other night and the resulting snowball that crashed down hill got huge and just kept going and getting bigger.
Had 2 C sessions today. First one with an IC that we are both going to seperatly and the other this afternoon is my first visit to a DBing coached MC.
So its been a tough day for me as well everyone else here probably. The DBing books are good! Im 3 quarters through the first one called DBing. I will be reading DB remedy next. Im trying to do some 180s and will be putting some stress relief exercises to work tonight when my W gets home from work. I am still debating weather to go out tonight or stay home. I need some quality family time together while I can still get it. I hope we dont have to sell, we live in a small paradise in our corner of the world.
Your sitch is the same way at our house to. We take turns in sleeping in our daughters rooms while the other is in our bed. I hate this because I miss her so much. I had a laugh where you guys were talking about aliens. I remember saying to my w in feb - Who ever you are, get out of my wifes body and bring her back!
About the conversation thing, just be happy and up beat. Joke and stay positive. I crashed the other night and Ill tell ya it will make things worse, avoid the r talk as much a possible. My w and I had a huge blow up the other morning because I couldnt stay positive, and let my emotions get the better of me. I ended up just begging and pleading - yup really attractive.
Ontheedge22, LeighS, NewMe, abgiles and myself are people all in the same boat as you bud. Plus a ton more that I just havent read about yet. Im brand new to this place as well and am still having a hard time navigating my way around on this site. Oh hey, check out coach and smartcookie, sadmilitarywife and bliss. Good wholesome people to chat with.
We are all in this together, just like at the firehall, but without the dark humor, ribbing, and fattening firehall meals!!
Post me back . Look forward to hearing from you.
So keep in touch, Ive added you as a watched topic
