Over the Shock - Detaching and GALing

[Thinker]

Thanks - I hadn't said anything yet, and I think the urge has passed. It is hard.

I have also been reading a ton of books like "Codependent No More" and "No More Mr. Nice Guy" - which spark a lot of thoughts and emotions in me. It is pretty hard to read these under the same roof with my W and not talk about them, but so far I have been doing OK. I was reading in the Living room last night and she walked in and asked what I was reading - really just trying to start a conversation. I had to avoid the question, and then refuse to answer it when she pushed. She walked away a little miffed with a "whatever", but I didn't want to get into what I was reading and why.
