Glad to hear the new puppy is doing well. Dogs and kids, ya gotta love it. I shouldn't say just kids. My big guy is the best listener wink

It is. I know it is. But does that mean we`re done? That`s it. No hope of a reconciliation?


Is that what it means to you? IMO it doesn't have to mean that.

Does it really matter what the theapist thinks? I have my suspicions she may have been mistaken a time or two in here life. She doesn't have a crystal ball and her job is to help you find ways of coping with all the stress of this etc. If she isn't the one to do that....find another.

And maybe it`s important for me to just believe it is over.


Is it, for you? Different people feel differently about it. The old M is over, that's true whether you D or not.

I`m staying out of his way. I do nothing to provoke him(apart from existing that is). I`m keeping busy too.


That you exist doesn't provoke him. He does that all on his own. Perhaps it's is own existance that puts him in a foul mood.

True, that it's best to keep clear. No need for an explosion.

I hope you get some rest this weekend.
