Hello everyone, Thanks for the checkins, yes, I have been real busy with the classes, work, church,support groups, brother being deployed to AFgan, etc. No excuses though. I try to get on here every other day or so, but sometimes I dont get a chance to keep up.
Nothing really new on my front, w emailed me today to see if I watched the game, and to tell me her address had changed, she is renting the house next to her sister, and she has a new nephew born on the 25th. We are discussing tax issues. I will be moving to a new apartment on the 25th of this month in the same town that I am presently living.
Hope you all are doing well, I follow all of your sitch's with great interest and am always thinking about you all, again, thanks for checking in.

Hello everyone, hope all is well with everyone on the board. Have been checking out everyones posts, seems like a lot of us are slowing down on our entries, could be the mid winter doldrums.
Update on my sitch. Had two pretty pleasant interactions with my w via email last week, talking about things in general, taxes, our dog, the winter weather, etc. She let me know that she had rented a house next door to her sister, and that she liked having a house. We had spent our whole marriage living in a condo, less maintenance, etc.
The tone of her messages were more friendly than they have been since she left. I think she is feeling pretty good about life, she has a new job, new house, possibly new boyfriend, etc.
I have been very upbeat lately, but have had some very slight anxiety over the last two weeks, I am preparing to move to a smaller, less expensive place and have been going through all of our things(she left the bulk of her belongings behind, cheaper than renting a uhaul. I have had to face old memories, looking at items that we got throughout our whole marriage, little trinkets, dodad, etc. Furniture, bed, dishes, etc that I will have no room for and she said she no longer wanted. Only one way to describe it, sad, sad, sad.
I dont begrude her wanting to be happy, its just that I

Just curious, how was Valentines Day for everyone? Did you think a great deal about your spouse, or was it basically just another day?
Half expected I might hear from w, but never did. Actually, I would have been really surprised, after all, why would she want to think about the day after being the one to walk away.
Anyway, hope everyones day was good!!

Hey Gunny. It has always been a low key day for us. It was the same this time, unremarkable. Just bought my D some chocolates and a coffee mug. You sound down my friend? Did you start divorce care groups again?

Gunny you just saw my post about the WAW at work. She was 100% done, she even told me during the summer that she could not wait to date other guys. She took H off her insurance and filed for child support. So there is hope my friend. Just be patient and keep the focus on you.
