nero, I'm going to try your idea of watching TV. I think anything that will make me stop thinking and planning will be good.
kml, I feel like I was forced into a midlife transition myself too. My kids keep me far more grounded, but I wouldn't have spent all this time focusing on myself, changing myself, and setting new goals otherwise.
Last night I had a hard time sleeping because a friend of H (who is also going through a D) told me that she mentioned to H she was taking a mandated D class and H said he needs to look into that too. She said only if he wanted to, and he said it needs to be done. I just don't want to deal with everything that comes with D on top of everything else right now. I wonder how much of it is talk and how much of it is he is moving that direction. He likely feels that he needs to do that to remove the guilt of the infidelity and be free to do whatever he wants no guilt.
