I am not happy (or as happy as I could be) right now.

Maybe because you are NOT doing all of the things that you listed below.

Told you it was cheesy

Tad….First I don’t think they are cheesy at all. Second, I hope and pray that there comes a time when you really would not give a hoot if I think they are cheesy or not…because they make YOU happy.

So, are you gardening more? Are you planning fishing trips? Do you take hikes in the mountains? Do you read up on Astronomy? Do you follow horoscopes? What are you doing to try and do these things that YOU determined make you happy. Oh…and if you tell me funds are tight…here are a couple of suggestions. Go to a local river, stream or pond…and go fishing. Hikes tend to be free. Google Hicking in Arizona and see what comes up. Bowling cost money but a lot of times I see Groupon or living social deals. If need be, take 5 bucks a week and put it away so that maybe once a month or once every other month you can go bowling.

I figure I've got 8-9 months and the clock is ticking

8 or 9 months of waiting and hoping OR

8 or 9 months living and hoping for the best?

There is a difference.

I think what stands out to me is your statement "I want my life back"

I saw the same thing!

Tad, please read Alb’s post several times. I am not telling you to NOT wait for her, to not stand or whatever you want to call it…I am suggesting that you stop and finally focus on YOUR happiness. If you have read any of the DB books….they talk about “doing what works”…”about becoming an attractive option”…”about not going down cheesless tunnels”…..

Focus on your happiness Tad for YOU finally. YOU have given her everything you had…now give YOURSELF something….Happiness Tad…Cause she just may wake up and realize what she is missing.
