I think about my situation way too often. The GAL'ing seems to help tremendously though. I also think about a lot of the good times we've had and I long for those times again - sometimes. I know I don't want to go back to the old M.
This is where I struggle the most jb. I haven't been able to go through all your old threads but how do you stop focusing on it?
I want to GAL but so many things that I enjoy(ed) we did together or somehow my sitch has stolen some of that joy. For example, I LOVE football but the OM is in the NFL so now football is disgusting to me. I like to jetski but W and I jetski together usually and on one of her trips to see OM, they went jetskiing.
What do you think has been the key for you to start and continue to GAL? It may be different since I have no kids but I WANT to desperately, I just have a tough time with it.
I think it's hardest to get started. Brainstorm about things that either you haven't done in awhile and would like to pick up again or things you've always wanted to try but never have. I think it tends to build on itself and gather momentum as time goes along. One thing I've is I signed up for just about everything I thought I could do through my church. All healthy activities, even if they're outside of my comfort zone. Plus, I am building new, heatlthy relationships with people.
