Prematurely called divorce busted, worse now

Orich,

Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see. When she moved out onto the couch it was a test. As long as you don't react to these 'tests' she will waffle in her own cr@p.

Yes, going out with your Dad to see a movie is GAL'ing. GAL with your sons. Take them out and do things they will find awesome to do with their Dad. You can GAL in the house - do a project, take up painting, drawing, learn an instrument, learn a language, do anything that you find interesting. Build models with your sons, make paper mache with them, color, etc... This is all GAL'ing.

GAL does not only mean go outside of the house and hang out with friends. It means just this - Get A Life... get involved with new interests, expand your social circle, do anything that is for you and for you and the kids.

One caveat - don't do things in the hopes of 'impressing' your W. Do them because it's what you want to do to improve yourself with no other hidden agenda that is some hope of affecting the sitch in some way.
