Stuck,

Happy B'day! I know your girls are wishing you the best as well as all the people you have been helping in the forum and those around you. I know I really appreciate all that you've done to support me and if I was in Hawaii, I would be buying you a couple of bottles of champagne for you to enjoy your B'day with.

Just to echo back some of the things you have said to me - go get a life and enjoy yourself. You are the only person who can control your happiness.

You wife has the same crappy timing as many of the WAS had here. It seems to be part of their pattern. My wife wanted to tell my boys on Easter Sunday, after I told her that I wouldn't let her tell them on my 7 year old's B'day. Take it that at least you told them together, my wife told my boys when I was at my therapist appointment the Monday after Easter Sunday.

Sorry for the tangent on my situation.... back to you....

I think you did fine with the gift. Personally, sending flowers to her work place makes a very public statement that you are still in this and haven't given up.

And you are right - it does s*ck! But you know what, to steal a line from Coach, if anyone can handle it, you can!

Have fun tomorrow nite at dinner. The resturant you picked sounded great! Go out have "act as if" and just go with the flow. Remember expect nothing other than eating a great meal with a fantastic view. If your wife doesn't enjoy it, make sure you and your girls do!

And I don't expect to see you post on this forum until 24 hours after the dinner.

Happy B'day!
