second verse same as the first

[MichelleLT]

Make weekends better. Are there things in the house that remind you of your loss? Box them up and put them away this weekend. Put up pictures of just your daughter and you. Plan little things to do with your D. Watch some movies, hang out.

Make sure you give yourself time to do you stuff. Get some exercise. Start a book that is NOT self-help. Something that will make you laugh out loud. I personally survived some of the darkest times of my situation with Janet Evanovich, but I know they are aimed more at women. You should give Terry Pratchett a try if you like British humor.

Give yourself healthy escapes. And also know that you will spend time being sad and lonely and that's okay too. Just don't let yourself get stuck there for too long.

Not only is your W struggling, but she actually admits so! That is something a lot of us never got. But either way, it is hard to be empathetic. The back of your mind keeps going, but you chose this! But you have to keep telling yourself that your relationship is in a make-it or break-it growth phase though. You both need to grow as individuals to decide if you want to make the relationship work. It won't happen overnight, it shouldn't happen overnight. You are in this for the long haul. Change and growth are often difficult and painful, and this will be difficult and painful for both of you.

Just hang in there.
