I think the answer is yes but is it normal for no response or discussions about situation from W? I think she's noticing some changes because of some comments she's made and her saying thank you a lot this week (doesn't seem like a big thing but I don't remember getting many over last couple years). I'm GAL with things I want to do. I realize my wild party days are behind me so I'm enjoying just reading, hunting again, and playing the occasional video game after kids go to bed. We haven't said a word about marriage or divorce since our Halloween night fight and wasn't sure if this is a good sign or not. I know I shouldn't say anything but I'm not sure she will ever because not her style. She's also the type that once she's made a decision it's done and usually no turning back which is worrisome in this situation.

I am feeling good about me for the first time in a long time. It's nice making myself happy doing what I want and not worrying about what she thinks or letting her moods affect mine. Kids are seeing it also because we've been having an absolute blast. W has actually joined us a couple times which was fun.

Also have a question about Thanksgiving. My mom is having it as usual on Thursday and I doubt right now my W will go. I personally don't want to go because there is always drama that I can't stand (brother and aunts aren't right in head). We usually go anyway as a family, make an appearance, and get out asap. What do you guys think I should do? Take kids down with offer for wife to go knowing she likely won't and she'll be alone on holiday or cook turkey myself and try to have nice, relaxing family day. I'm torn. I would rather just have a Thanksgiving at home with my family but not sure if that's best for current situation???


Personality is who the world sees, character is who you are

Turn your trials into your testimonies

Don't believe everything you think

Expectations are resentments waiting to happen
