Treading water

[Grizz]

Luke, as crazy as it sounds, I have been giving her more space while on the phone and computer. Last night she was ordering birthday gifts for D which we were talking about. When I walked in the room I just assumed that was what she was still doing so I didn't think that I needed to give her space.

Grateful, thanks for the thoughts. I have been trying to build on the change in W attitude. I have stayed upbeat while around her. It has taken me 4 months to get to the point of not being down when I am around her. It is still hard but it is becoming easier. I am not a big reader however that is one thing that I have been trying to do more of. I googled your book and it does sound interesting. I might look into getting it.

PON, it amazes me the similarities that you have mentioned when I describe my sitch. I guess that is good for me since you have been there and can give me a heads up on what to expect. Admittedly I used to be TERRIBLE at not reacting but I have come a long way recently. I really like your quote about, keep working on your broken sandbox. Clean your mess up. I am definitely learning about patience that I never thought I had.

Thanks guys for the encouragement. Looks like I will be starting thread #3 shortly as this one is over 100 posts. I wish I could name it something other than "treading water" but I think at this point that is still where I am.
