How much longer in Separated?

Hang in there GF! I'll hop over to your thread.

Loyalist, thanks for posting, I'll go find your thread.

Very interesting developments here. I went on a four-day disc golf trip down to Austin with some of my best friends. It was fantastic. We had the whole thing planned out, all our favorite restaurants for every meal, etc. Good for the soul.

I talked briefly with W every night, and some e-mails and texts back and forth were very interesting. This reminds me why GAL is so important, because I'm not over-analyzing everything and jumping to conclusions and scaring her off.

Here are some text and e-mail excerpts for journaling purposes:

After W left on Friday:

W: "Just got home, thanks for checking"
W: "I made myself eat a hamburger"
- she's on a new med that takes away appetite and I asked about it
W: "are you busy still?"

Saturday:
"I thought I should tell you that the trip to the doctor and multiple pharmacies is paying off. I'm feeling really good"
- we had a nice talk after that

She also responded to my e-mail with my C's info: "Okay. Thanks for sending."

Sunday:
"sweet of you to check on me. Congrats! Did you see the bats?"
- I had told her we were down on Congress in Austin. We took W's entire family to see the bats fly out from Congress bridge once. Sounds crazy I know, it's an Austin thing. I called W later that night when the other guys were doing "wifey calls" and we had a nice talk.

Monday:
E-mail from W:
Subject: a site you might like

http://www.modernman.com/

Me:
Fun! I like some of these articles.
- I really had no idea why she sent it.

Her:
"The articles could tell you about health & groming, so I don't have to threaten that you could one day look like a hobo. You look nice by the way, but prevention is key. :)"

- this was a fun exchange. There was some of this going on before she left Friday, like she doesn't want me to be on my own. Or she's scared I won't take care of myself. Or she's remembering how nice it was to be a wife. Some of all I'm sure.

Also on Monday:
"The AAA membership expires on 4/29/11. The renewal fee for both of us is $79. I will go ahead and mail you the card, although I have not paid the renewal yet, so that you will hve the card. We save a substantial amount by being on the same account."

This is VERY interesting. Splitting up our AAA membership was brought up in the D talk on Friday. And our car insurance as well. I responded "Great! I think that's definitely worth it".

Supposedly, W was going to mail me the D papers on Monday. It doesn't sound like that happened at all. Time will tell.
