I took my son to the local fair last night, he went on rides and we won some prizes. We really had a great time!!!
This morning my W and I were talking and she mentioned that she has noticed a real change in me. She was curious why I seemed so happy about all of this. I explained to her that I've listened to everything she has said but she asked for the D. I've embraced it and now I need to move forward and work on myself.
The therapy really seems to help, even though I'm doing most of the talking it's nice to get it all out there and not be judged.
My W started crying and started venting about her concerns. She is worried about living by herself, affording a new place, work, etc...... I looked at her and smiled and said you should really sit down and come up with a plan. I told her that I've been working on a plan for me and it will be hard but I'll be ok.
She then started asking me some probing questions that really caught me off guard. She asked if I thought about ever getting re-married, I didn't know how to respond. I told her that it's too early for me to start thinking about a new R but I wouldn't rule it out. She seemed very depressed but she got ready and went to work.
I'm not sure what re-assurance she is looking for out of me. I'm very vague now when it comes to our conversations. I keep them very simple and as fun as I can.
