Dropped the Match.com profile today. Cancelled the date with who looked like a very nice gal. Not fair to ths OP, my kids or myself to say the least. At least not in my current frame of mind where I obviously have not moved on from my W. I very much appreciate all the feedback and 2x4's from y'all.
Best upside ... Got a dog this weekend. Good solid yellow lab pup. Great retriever line. 7 weeks and already retrieves instictively. Will work out much better for GAL and to get back into duck hunting this fall. I stopped hunting years ago, and now intend to dust off my shotgun.
W and I continue to be amicable. She makes positive baby steps toward me, then retreats back into her world on her rented farm. She really seems to need her alone time which I respect. No other news to report other than that. No idea about OM, though I suspect he's not much of a factor any longer. Kids still refuse to stay with W overnight, but W must work on this herself. I cannot "fix" anything for her anymore, but continue to be supportive and she knows it. She knows I'm a good dad and a good husband. She's told me as much recently. However, she continues to be in the tunnel. She is sorting things out, I can tell. It will be interesting to see what path she takes.
