Time for an Introduction...and Thanks

[Arsene]

Good morning FIO,

I'm glad I could help. I did get my meds and took the first one this morning. I hear it might take a few weeks for the effect to kick in so I'm bracing myself. Until it does kick in, I'll rely on good old exercise, good diet, plenty of water and lots of GAL to see me through.

Something you said cheered me up this morning.

"(apart from the relationship we HAVE to have because of the kids)"

In fact, this relationship we HAVE to have is what might in the end save our marriage. It gives us the famous "gift" of time. We know they aren't going anywhere, that they'll be a part of our life for as long as the kids are around so, IMO, there is always hope if one wants to look at it this way.

Now, the problem is to detach to the point where we're not affected by every thing they say or do (or don't say or don't do) in the meantime.

That is where GAL comes in. And if in the process of GAL, something else (or someone else)comes along which is more interesting than WAS, we'll know and perhaps, won't care so much about WAS anymore.

Of course, that is exactly when they will start caring about us and try to get us back . Who knows? Give it a year and maybe your H and my W will be having this same discussion on this very site!!!

Have a good day FIO!
