AnotherStander yes you are absolutely right! GAL can be anything you enjoy doing. I guess I meant more like things to do to meet people. I need to have friends, some to call me.
I saw you posting a lot of good suggestions to people. Do you know of anyone else in my sitch where these is an OM but W doesn't bring up divorce or moving out anymore?
There was no OM in your sitch right?
I volunteered at a Women's shelter. Try a "Big Brother Group" or Boy Scouts. You will meet new people. I coached a softball team. I auditioned for community theater and did stand up comedy. I met new interesting fun people.
I joined a writer's group. I volunteered at my kids's schools and met other parents. Joined a group at Church.
I took flying lessons, and a class in Conversational French, and Italian cooking. I learned how to cross country ski, hunt for big game and deep sea fish.
I got in great shape and used a tanning booth in the winter. I looked good. I saw a therapist at times too.
I joined an Officer's Wive's Club for the first time in 17 years of active duty service. And thank God I did, b/c I made 2 life long friends there. They saved my life while living in Alaska's interior.
SM, I did ALL THIS^^^-- WHILE living in the interior of Alaska, mostly in the winter. And we had a newborn/toddler, younger than yours.
Except for flying lessons, nothing I did cost much at all. And I made new, interesting friends at each place.
For you to have "no friends" is co-dependent of you. I notice your wife has some.
Don't make excuses anymore. There are TONS of things for you to do. Get out of your comfort zone and it will expand... WE hammer the GAL here, b/c we know it works.
So, GAL
