It's been quite a while since I checked in - about a month and a half. I suppose that's a good thing, since it shows that trying to save my marriage isn't all I think about anymore.

The family vacation was ok, but certainly did nothing to bring WAW any closer together. So...I have been thinking about what do now. Every time I see her, I slide backwards in my recovery. So, I am purposely limiting exposure to her. I am also focusing on making my life mine. I am making "our" bedroom into "mine, by changing the bedding, re-organizing the closet etc. I have also started prepping the house for eventual sale when we proceed with legal divorce in about a year and a half.

I am going to try to date again. It's been almost a year and a half since I came back here and over 5 years since the first time. My other methods have not resulted in anything, so it's time for this new plan. It's really just basic d'bing, but it's really more about living the life I have, which really isn't so bad at all. I simply need to work at the GAL thing.

I have not seen any recent posts by RobX or several of the other vets such as Coach. Have they disappeared?

I plan on posting here more regularly. It's a great place to journal in addition to the book I write in daily.

Life goes on.
