Eric, I just read your posts and all I can say is wow. I feel humbled to have you working with me. Your wife's lack of communication is exactly what I am experiencing. I have GAL'd. I already worked out a ton and spent a bunch of time with the kids. Her complaint about me when she dropped the bomb was a lack of communication-My GAL activities have been:
1. Going to church and bible study weekly which is change from my once a month routine in the past.
2. Fixing things around the house-was always a point of contention for wife.
3. Helping out with household chores, cooking dinner for the kids 3 or 4 times a week and brining home food 1 or 2 nights a week.
4. I have reached out to my side of the family which I have largely ignored over the past few years.(Not detailing wife's divorce plans to my family just reconnecting)
5. Stopped watching TV as much although my 10 year old S is a football nut and we do watch games together on the weekends.
6. I have read probably 10 relationship books and the new Bourne novel. These are the first books I have read in 10 years.

Eric, your life's journey makes mine look like a cake walk. My wife is not having an affair-just in MLC. Everything is hurry up because life is too short with her currently. I have noticed the wedding ring being worn some days and not others-just as you did. I need a game plan. I feel much better fighting this battle if I have a plan in place. I am about to read DR again. Thanks again.
