I had therapy last night and left there feeling a bit angry. I told the therapist that I have been strong and have not been sad yet. She told me that she thinks my wife has been using me and that essentially I need to detach and not let her permeate my boundaries.
She also pointed out that while my wife and I get along most of the time and enjoy our time and dates, that her general trajectory is still towards divorce.
After I left I went to the gym. While I was on the treadmill I started thinking about the texts I found in August and then started piecing together other trivial events over the past month and I started to imagine and believe that she *IS* having a physical affair right now. The more I thought about it, the more angry I got. I was a mad man on the treadmill and ran harder and faster than I ever have. LOL
I am leaving here shortly to pick up my D from the W's apartment on the way home. Last week she invited me in for a beer and we talked for almost an hour. I am not sure how it will go tonight. I should probably decline and just grab my daughter and go.
JB - I am pretty certain I know where you live. I grew up in Cincinnati and moved to DFW about 16 years ago. I know a lot of the places that you mention when you talk about GAL'ing.
