Morning, Jon!!!! And, yes, as Tawnya said...the (((((Jon))))) are hugs just for you. One of my primary love languages (hopefully you've read the book. If not, you should before you even think about another R...with your wife or anyone else!) is physical touch so I give lots of hugs. I have to say in this virtual world, they aren't quite as good as real ones, but they can still make you feel warm and cozy once your recognize what they are and how they are intended.
And, I know what you mean about feeling good. I'm starting to really feel good too. There's much less tension in my house. Much less! In fact, even my S7 said the other day, "Mom, we do a lot more fun stuff now that Dad is gone." The crazy part is, I didn't really feel the tension when he was here...just know it was there cause I feel it's absence now. You know what I mean?
One of the best things I ever heard from a therapist was about the re-writing of history...how the WAS doesn't remember anything good in the M...that helps them justify their leaving. This therapist also told me that we as LBS' tend to rewrite a little too, and we likely remember things way better than they were to support our desire to stick it out.
Good for you on the house and the tile. That will be fun to show off. If you run out of chores at your house, maybe you could stop off here. I don't keep house very well!!! I tried for a while after H left, and then I realized, that it mattered to him, not so much to me...so, since he's with OW and not here, I don't have to worry so much about it. Not really DBing, but, hey, more important things to do!
You sound great! Keep up the PMA this week.
Amy
