Yet, when explaining the looooong process to others, you really appreciate how exceptional the people here are when its reinforced how many others would char the earth and walk away.
It took me a long time to stop even talking about my feelings surrounding my W, my M, the whole ugly sitch with my friends. After I would have verbal diarreah of the mouth I could see the pity in thier eyes.....they just don't get it.
Don't get me wrong, these friends are there to support me no matter what and I am blessed to have them. They just don't get it like we do here.
You know when you do hit that "healthy" place in your "standing" and YOUR life is moving forward......your friends and family will see it and they will have a renewed respect for what you are doing.
When you TRULY realize that you can be HAPPY without anyone (including your W) in your life, people will notice and want some of what you have found.
Some of us find that place sooner than others, I think I have found it in the last 2 weeks, it is a place of peace and contentment. I am almost 16 months post bomb, long time for some, short time for others, just right for ME.

Not sure this is the place of contentment that I was speaking of, maybe Eric's place of peace.....not sure, LOL
You sound good, I like the physical contact with your W, however it is going to be VERY HARD not to form expectations, look objectively at it and if you think you can't handle it then back off of it.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
