I agree with GIMA, I didn't read in your post any reason for the "kick in the gut" feeling. Friendship is a very very important part of a marriage. Truthfully, I believe that it was what my W missed the most when we were seperated. "Buddy status" is good. It allows for communication to build back a marriage. Good stuff is goin on for you. Focus on that. The successful ones on this board are the ones that look at the positive parts of their situation.
