Hey everyone. I just thought I'd come out and see what was going on in DB land and realized it's been 3 weeks since I posted. Must be a record.

But I guess that's a good thing. No need to post means everything is going well. What I keep thinking is, when is it time to say farewell. Not sure I'm ready to do that, but I can see it being longer and longer between posts. I feel a little bad about that because so many people helped me through this mess and I'd love to return the favor, but I feel like it keeps taking me back to a bad place and clouds my judgement and PMA and understanding of all the GOOD things going on now that I feel like I may need to make an exit from DB at some point.

We still have little bumps in the road, but the difference now is we talk about them. W still is having periods down time from what I assume is guilt. But she's not in those funks very long. I do know she suffers from winter blahs and we've been getting hammered with snow the last two weeks so I'm sure that's part of it.

A week from tomorrow I surprise her with the trip to sunny Fla. I've been pretty good at talking about the trip to the Mtns she thinks we're taking, talking about the weather forecasts for there, etc, so I'm sure she'll be surprised. Got her a new pair of diamond earrings for our 25th anniversary while we're in Fla. She lost one of the current set she has that I got her for our 5th anniversary. I know it upset her, but the pair I got her for the 25th are larger diamonds and I'm sure she'll be thrilled.

I have a couple of other surprises for her while we're at Disney. Having flowers delivered to our room. Have a special cruise on this really cool boat to watch the fireworks at Epcot on our anniversary. We've done this cruise a number of times in the past and W LOVED it. I'm sure she'll love it this time. Have dinner reservations at a nice restaurant near the boat dock and after dinner we'll just walk out and get on the boat for the fireworks cruise.

W's friend M at work is having more and more trouble with her H. M is preparing to move out. Their marriage started out as an A and her H has cheated on her at least once since they were married and with the things W is telling me he's pulling now, I'm sure he's at least in an EA now. It's funny how now that I've experienced this first hand, how easy it is to spot what's going on. Yeah, their marriage as lasted 17 years, but when it starts out as an A, there has to be a point where trust becomes an issue. And it's here for them now. I feel sorry for M, but not really as anyone who starts a relationship in that manner gets what they deserve. Maybe a little callous of me, but don't have a lot of sympathy for affariages.

Talk to ya all later.
