Yeah a little retail therapy goes a long way to making one feel good and feeling good can kickstart more.
I have been planning my MLC. I figured if XW can go off the deep end I can have a little fun now that I realize I was never really responsible for her happiness.
After XW moved out I became quite proud of the nest egg I amassed. My L looked upon my bank account and told me to spend it unless I wanted to give half of it to XW and prompt an examination of all my assets. Sooooo I invested in new work clothes, and a few other items in my areas of interest. I built an AR 15 on the dining room table.
Not quite like rebuilding a motorcycle in the living room, but it made me feel good. I also began to live like I used to, on my terms, doing things that made me happy.
XW hated seafood, I have always loved seafood. I have made it a point. I’ve been to more clam bakes and consumed more shrimp, salmon, lobster, crab in the last two years than I have in the previous 30. Not so much to balloon as I have plans and need to stay fit to enjoy my MLC, after the last 30 I deserve it.
What can you do?
JTB makes a really valid point. Being a father you can be proud of. Showing your children how to handle adversity, how to stand for yourself and them with honor and kindness.
I was me long before I joined we, somewhere along the way I lost me in we. She was never able to just be happy and could not sustain we. Now she is she and I am me finding my happiness.
BITS Me 55, ACK, when did that happen? Doesn't feel like 55 D 30 S 27
