DB Friends, Today is our anniversary--17 years. We're in a much better place than last year's estrangement and the intrusion of the OP, who has moved 600 miles away. My mind is a tangled web of thoughts and emotions, but I'll keep up the Act As If I'm a H approach. This means saying and doing whatever is needed to move us forward.
I bought my W a card today. It's a humorous card that talks about the realities of married life, and a willingness to stay committed in spite of it. Some of the lines are:
We've some GOOD behavior (and of course we've seen some BAD) We've seen the WORST We've seen the BEST And like we always knew: No matter what life's UPS and DOWNS... We'll see each other through
My W has trouble putting structure into her day, now that she's uemployed. She can go an entire day without eating or leaving the home. I came home from work yesterday, and she was in front of the computer, complaining about being depressed. I suggested we take advantage of the summer heat and our fitness club membership and go the pool. We went, and as expected, it cheered her up.
