She's walking around all depressed again for a few minutes, then cycles to be chatty. Not sure what she has to be so unhappy about. She should be excited to start her new life ***said with a snotty attitude.

I'm starting to wonder, should I say something about her moving when she starts talking about stuff that needs to be done around our house? "Well, I guess that isn't your problem anymore now is it?" comes to mind.

She's reading Eat, Love, Pray. Isn't thay a story singing the praises of dumping your life to screw your way across Europe?

I'm trying to keep up with 4 books right now. I don't know how anyone does it. I still haven't made it all the way through DR, and I've added: How To Improve Your Marriage Without Talking About It, Not Just Friends, and one my DB coach recommended, How To Listen So Your Kids Will Talk And Talk So Your Kids Will Listen (she said it works with spouses too)...in addition to trying to participate here.

I just don't have that much time to read. I used to love reading novels, but I can't remember the last time I did that. Something else to add to my GAL list, I guess. Hopefully, I can work that one in soon.

I haven't read it, but I don't think its quite like that. I flipped that my W was reading it at one point, along with a bunch of other D is good books, and puppy dog tails corrected my impression about Eat, Love, Pray - my impression was pretty similar to yours.

About the time my W finished Eat, Love, Pray was when she began acting nicer.

Anyone out there know about this book?

Eat, Pray, Love is about a woman whose husband divorces her and how she GAL. Eat - Italy, Pray - meditation in India and then she finds love. It's not a total chick book. I enjoyed it. There is a pretty strong spiritual side it that I enjoyed.

Cheers

Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.

Man, is there anything you HAVEN'T read. We are going to have to start calling you "Dr." Coach. Just don't send me a bill.

Now that you say that, that reminds me that Puppy told me that book was written by a woman whose H had left her.

doesn't seem to me she's moving out. When my H moved out, he stormed out and wouldn't even be in the same room with me for over a month. Let alone ML? Please. She's had a change of heart. She's not going through with it.

So you either wait it out and watch her NOT LEAVE or you CONFRONT and say basically "I don't want to feel mind-f***ed any more." If you are leaving, I want a date. IF you are not, do not bring it up again."

Seems she was just trying to get a reaction out of you.

Eat Pray Love is autobiographical about a woman who finds herself first and love next. It is not a "dump your husband and screw your way around the world book." It is a good book. She never tells us much about the xhusband. The book is not about her marriage. You needn't get upset that your wife is reading it.

Thanks for all of your feedback on the book guys. It's funny, I don't feel like I NEED to know as much or pry as much as I used to, but I would still like to have some idea of what's going on here. I just NEED to figure out what's happening in my life. Where it's headed.

The more I go through this with her, the more I think there's MLC involved. The movies she's watched, the "life path" talk, the conversations we've had, the ups and downs we've gone through.

Logically I don't want her to go. I know it's what's best. In a weird way though, I almost would welcome the change. (easier to say now, but I am sure I would not REALLY want to see her go)

She's been back in her room the past two nights. I didn't invite her in though. I've made no advances. No hugs, no kisses. I didn't tell her that she was welcome to come in either. I'm just going with her flow. Should I invite her in?
