I would so join you at B&N... but since I can't, might I suggest a book by a psychoanalyst named Robert Glover. The title is *No More Mr. Nice Guy*.
Yes, I realize you're a female, but you might like it anyway. If you read past the overtly masculine structure you'll see in the subtext that it talks about people like us, who derive our self-worth from the opinions of others, and who are endlessly trying to find happiness by kissing the behinds of everyone else. Our spouses obviously don't respect this and it doesn't work, but we keep doing it and never stop to wonder why we aren't blissfully happy.
Have fun at the park too. Peace!

If you are still trying to rebuild a relationship with your WAS, I would recommend "Getting Back Together" by Bettie Youngs and Masa Goetz. I'm in the middle of the book right now.

I've been researching attorneys and making appts for some have to stuff. H has text two times since on his trip (a generic text he sends to all of us) but no calls. He's been gone for 7 days now. He sent me some pics monday and some more tuesday - WTF? are you serious? I didn't even look at them.
I'm being a busy bee around the house and trying to get ducks in a row (as G says)

Just be careful you don't start shooting them ducks before they're perfectly lined up. And shooting means: working on yourself, improving yourself, becoming a better woman.

Still around but laying low until you know what you want.
EDIT: I am still around and will continue laying-low until you figure out what it is you want and what you are going to do to get it.
