That takes courage and strength and I applaude you. Some outsiders see it as weakness, but most know it is far from the easy way out and it takes strength.
My sitch is fresh and I actually made a post 10 minutes ago about feelings of wanting to give up already.
Thank you! And rest assured you're not the only one that has those feelings, I'm sure we ALL go through it! I know I do. Just know that you are going to have all kinds of crazy emotions, often several cycling through in a day. You'll want to quit, you'll want to call W and beg/ plead, you'll want to call W and yell at her, you'll want to just leave W and kids behind and move to a quiet place in the woods somewhere, you'll want to find some beautiful, young new GF with a perfect bod to parade in front of W, etc. etc. Don't fight the emotions and don't act on them, just let them happen and stay focused on your DB'ing and on yourself. That's one of the areas that The Happiness Trap really helped me- in understanding that emotions are not good/ bad but are all just part of our lives; and that we shouldn't fight against them but just let them roll through.
