It has been about a month since I last posted here. A month ago I really gave up on my marriage. I decided at that point that I was just going to focus on being the best person I could be, on being a good father, and on finding some happiness for myself. A month ago I started dating and I really accepted that my marriage was over. I lfet my wife to sort out her own situation. (Although to be clear she left me for another man, I mean I left her more metaphorically). And it was the best thing I could have done. I am so much happier and healthier today. Today my wife called me. I can tell she is having some doubts. I told her that the door was still open and that we are the ones who will write the end of this story. She was quiet for about 2-3 minutes, a long time on the phone. We agreed to talk this evening. She may say that she wants to give it another chance. She may not. But I am going to be fine either way. I've met some awesome women on my dates. I've discovered that a 34 year old divorcee is pretty damn marketable if you make a good living and are kind and relatively interesting. I've had a wonderful time with my children. I broke a lot of DB rules, but detaching, GAL, and focusing on being the best person are fundamentals and they served me very well. Not sure why I am here. I don't recognize many of the screen names. But I wanted to update. In some ways this is the journal of this process for me and I wanted to leave an update. I'm interested to see how this ends up. But I am going to be ok either way. So hang in there friends.
