I am still following you and Barcley. I just wanted to let you know that I think you’re doing great. It’s a little scary to see what might be in my future, but you guys are helping me see things that I will need hopefully slightly ahead of time. I’ve learned a lot from my own posting and also by watching others in the same boat.
Just wanted to commiserate with you. Happy anniversary tomorrow. Not being a smarta$$, just wanted you to hear it from somebody.
Thanks for the co-misery Goodman. It helps to know we are not alone. I'm glad that you can learn from my posts. I am doing the same with others here and it is very helpful to get a sneak preview of the future, even if it is ugly sometimes. I have read your posts, but sometimes get confused from reading too many. So many are so close in nature that it gets hard to keep straight who is who anymore.
This is a great place, with a lot of great people giving out great advice. It has helped me tremendously in my recovery. Stick with it as best as you can. I, myself, am addicted to this site and this board. It's almost embarrasing how much time I spend here.
Thanks for the anniversary wishes. Greatly appreciated. It IS another anniversary after all, just under extreme circumstances. If W and I somehow find our way out of this mess, it will still count!!
I will have to consider the whole solo vacation thing for a while before I can get comfortable with it, but I know it is the right thing to do.
"...Because it's totally counter-intuitive and scary for me to even consider telling my wife who doesn't want to be married to me and is quite possibly in some sort of relationship with another man that she should stay home while I take our family on a vacation."
