Wifey, I wanted to answer your questions in an orderly fashion but could not figure out the quote function, so here goes.
Yes, my sister is around but I dont see her much. I do look forward to living in my own place again.
Gal activities:going to the gym,working a new job(I was working at home before), hanging out with old friends, golf drivimg range(never played golf before),volunteer for Habitat for Humanity. Reading books for fun and self help.
The only rush for the apartment was to show that I could have a place for my kids to stay when joint custody happens. My sisters house is way too far away from my daughters school and daycare.
My kids are very important in keeping me focused on being a better person but they are not the only thing I have going on I feel like I have come a long way in detachment but is it possible to detach too much? I want to be my wifes friend but I dont want to stand by as she puts herself on match.com!
Dont worry about me, even when we went almost 1.5 years without ML I still had ZERO urges to cheat on my wife. If I make any female friends they will soon be tired of hearing about my wife!
I like the photo idea. Her birthday is coming on the 6th. Maybe a card with a picture in it? Not sure on the birthday idea.
I realize now that I should have eaten when she offered the second time.
Yep, I missed the boat on the walk, should have stayed. I will look up cognitive dissonance.
I have been cutting the grass every week now since the bomb. Has not seemed to change anything in her. Every time I think maybe I am being too much of a nice guy and should stop. I have also painted the kitchen, mopped the floors, done the laundry, vacumed, clean up kids toys, pulled weeds,etc. Way too much? She still is full steam ahead on the divorce train. But even after D I will still want to do these things for my beloved wife. She does thank me when I cut the grass.
I have read about half(pg. 98)of 5 love languages.
Your "book" did not bore me It has helped me. Thank you
