Charting a New Course

[littleGTO]

Hi, Pathfinder,

First, thanks for posting on my thread. I just got done reading all of your most recent thread.

I got excited about the prospects of your GAL- boating/ sailing. One of my all-time favorite summer GAL is boating (speed)- we own a motor-boat. So, I applaud this! Sailing sounds like a lot of fun too, & a great family activity you can shared for years!

I think it sounds like recent good baby steps for your sitch. Moving back into MB without any negative reactions; the physical contact without any pulling away; and your W's interest in your GAL (sailing).

I think it would be good since she's expressed an interest in adventure activities and in your recent pursuing of the whole sailing thing, if you kept the door open (without pushing) for her to do this with you. She might be resentful if you pursue this w/o her while she's doing what she's been doing for years (taking care of the kids solo) while you're out sailing & having a great time/adventure.

BTW the list of strategies your W's new IC listed are just that- a list. Hopefully the C will help her discover how to move forward & that she CAN find happiness in her life again with you and her family.
