First of all, kudos to you for lasting 18 months in this situation. I've only been here about 4 months and I feel like I want to scream or dissolve into a puddle sometimes.

I made a decision to start the new year off by finally moving forward and trying (trying, trying, trying) not to look back at all. I've been getting a life here and there, but always with an eye to maintaining that wifely, caretaking self. Next year, both eyes will be on the road in front of me.

Let me know how things go for you. I'm trying to figure out what to do with myself. I think I'm going to start by buying myself some new gym clothes tomorrow and getting back there on a daily basis. Start taking some classes there and meet some people. I need some non-work, non-couple friends.

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
