Thanks much for checking in, 25! Always great to hear from you. Hope you're doing well as well!
My job is going great. After many worries about budget cuts, my department decided to say "screw the year-end budget approval process" and hire me on as a permanent because they saw me as an important enough asset to not lose to another employer. I was an FTE temp prior to this.
Regardless of whether my wife's residency is tres hard or not, one thing seems evident is that her mostly negative emotions and thoughts towards me are stuck in a time warp bubble. The longer she chooses to hold on to them to fuel her fire, the harder it will be for her to live her life the way God wants us to (and that applies to all of us too).
In terms of moving on: I've turned my negatives around and ramped up my positives, so instead of holding on to something that may or may not happen again, I have to start entertaining the thought that there needs to be woman/wife/mother in my and our son's life. Now, if God intends for healing/reconciliation with my wife after bifurcation (if I'm still on the market), then awesome and praise be.
Well, I will keep updating my thread. Cheers to y'all and have a great weekend!
