Detached, but not Broken-a diary of a LRT

[Broken74]

So I got my marching orders from Cheryl yesterday, she was again very helpful and I highly reccomend speaking to a DB coach if you have the opportunity to do so, it is obvious I need all the help I can get. Her thought is that the Tuesday blowup isn't all that significant, but I need to maintain the proper path going forward. So there are two things that still tie between W and I at this point. 1) Her car which is totally in my name and 2) Some exercise equipment/miscellaneous items have stored in her garage.

Cheryl's suggestion was to immediately start making endroads to cut these ties to prove that I am moving on. And that is what I indeed doing, moving on, as that is the only way that I am going to be able to do what I need to do in regard to detaching.

So W and I had the following exchange:

Me: Subject: Retrieval of my possessions from your house. Would Saturday 3/17 work in this regard? <eom>

Her: Possibly. I may not be home that weekend. Next weekend would be better. March 10?

Oh, and if you're taking the TV, don't forget to bring the little one back (so I at least have something to watch, lol).

Me: I'm out of town next weekend. You don't need to be there if you will put the TV and remote in the garage and allow me access to it, I will leave the small TV in the garage.

Her: Yes I do need to be here. I'll let you know by 3/13 if I will be home on 3/17.

May be reading too much into it but she didn't do any LOL's after I mentioned I would be out of town, or perhaps she's pissed because I'm repoing their decent TV lol. And I absoulutely cannot wait it is going to be a long GAL weekend next weekend :-).

So for me it's the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs and two strikes. Unless she's flat out lying she is still dealing with the OM. As it stands right now going forward I am going to live my life as a single man who will be finalizing a divorce in August. I'll continue to work on me, and if she has some epiphany and starts reaching out to me we'll see what happens. Cheryl seems to be highly confident that this is going to happen given her history, I am not so sure. Only time will tell I guess, six months to simmer before I'm taking the pot of the stove by way of filing.

We'll see what happens. Good luck to all you DB's out there I wish you all the best!
