Just finally getting around to posting a bit about the camping trip...can't believe the week is almost over already.
If anyone can stand me saying "wife and I had a great time" again...that would about sum it up...sorry.
Sometimes, especially over the last few weeks, I feel like I shouldn't even be posting any more.
A few vents here and there, a reminder from her thrown in for good measure that creates a little drama in my mind, but besides that...calm, cool and relaxed...both of us.
Starting to finally realize (hey, it's only been 6 months..lol) that most, if not all, of the drama IS in my head and just my perspective on things.
Have spent a lot a time the last few days catching up on threads, and reading some of my old stuff....just wanted to say, you guys, and girls, are a strong and supportive bunch.
Although I don't pipe in on other threads much, there are many that I stay current with, and think about you people often.
Someday, maybe I will feel comfortable offering advice, but still at times feel like I am floundering in my own sitch.
There are some sad stories on this site, and many people going through hell. Reading these last few days has really made me count myself as lucky. Regardless of what happens with my wife and I, I could not have asked for more from her than what she has done the last six months.
The two of us have been nothing but kind, loving and graceful to each other through this whole sitch, and knowing that not many of you have that with your spouses almost makes me feel somewhat self conscious about posting about the "good stuff" between her and I.....does that make sense? Do you guys get tired of listening to me????
God willing, and with more work, what has been going on with us will continue to progress. If not, I know I will always be able to come back here for a shoulder to cry on, some advice or a smack with a 2x4....what a bunch.
Bill, Forrest...if someone had told me 6 months ago, I could "make friends" with someone on an internet message board, I would have told them they were crazy. I know have said it before, but "Thanks"...for staying with me, for advising me and looking out for me.....once again, somehow, some day...a cold one, a game of pool and some wings.
....and the rest..you know who your are.."Thanks".
The camping trip???? We drove to the site and arrived after dark...started a fire, set up the tent and unpacked. The weekend was filled with cooking, and drinking...walks through the woods, quiet hours by the lake..hugs and hand holding, laughing and joking...hours in front of the fire and we made time on Sunday to drive to a little town about 15 miles away to watch a football game. She had to get her football fix in.
There was not a harsh word, or tense moment in the 72 hours we spent in each others faces, even as we battled over which pole went where, in the dark, freezing our a**es off, trying to get the tent set up. We were a couple and a team, and with all we do, the time we spend together, this was a time that will not soon be forgotten. Hopefully she feels the same way.
This week has been "more of the same". She has her moments, but most times I barely notice. I know it could still be a long road, but things feel good, and I am learning....finally...and am in a good place now, no matter what happens.
I will be back to update, vent, whine and cry when needed...and post about the good stuff if no one minds.
