Been a while since I posted a status, but I saw my attorney this morning so I figure I probably should post something.
As far as Plan B goes, still sucking at it. I think I can safely say I have not truly implemented.
Day to day, things are about the same....really good for the most part.
We've had quite a few stressors this past week....most of it related to S18. He has been making some poor choices, and with college (and student loans) on the horizon, he's scaring the crap out of W and I.
I have really been angry with him...more angry than I've been in a long long time so I've had to spend some time thinking about why. I think a lot of it is because some of the things I didn't like about myself, he's making me take a look at again. For instance, I have done a lot of work on being controlling and given his behavior, I've had to start being "controlling," although from a parenting perspective instead of spousal. All the monitoring him, enforcing rules, etc....not fun stuff. Logically, I don't think I'm being controlling...but there's a feeling that comes with it that I really do not like.
W's behavior has been mostly the same, but I am seeing slight positives. She's started kissing me bye sometimes, telling me she loves me occasionally, even telling me she's jealous when I have fun without her. I took my sister to dinner a week or so ago and I got "how come you never ask me to dinner?" Then, a couple of days ago she asked me to go to lunch which we haven't done in ages. Could just be distance / pursuit dynamic, but maybe not.
Attorney meeting went ok this AM. We basically drafted my initial response and the only thing I didn't like was I wasn't able to deny the claim that the marriage is broken. Based on my state's rules, it doesn't really matter much, but I wanted to make the point. But making that point would have put me on a different path than presenting the settlement agreement, which I deem as more important at this point. I expect we'll finish that this week and send over to her attorney next week, so it will be interesting to see if W decides to discuss it, sign it, or ignore it.
On the GAL front, I'm 8 weeks into Body Beast and am seeing good results, golf league started last week, and I'm still hanging with my sister and brothers occasionally. A buddy of mine wants me to check out Crossfit, so I might do that, though I'm leaning more towards doing Hash runs (for those who don't know, "A hash is a run with beer at the beginning, middle, and end.")
