thought you might want to THANK GOD or the universe for the apology your wife gave you.
IT's more than most here, ever hear...seriously.
And you must GAL more. I know you said sometime this month you'll look into sailing and that's a start. But I know I posted to you my GAL list and that was in frickin' Alaska's interior and included the winter at times.
I was BUSY and you are not.
WHen you take those trips, go bowling if you have to (my last resort -long story but I would NOT stay in one hotel room all night if my obsessing began. Time for a movie, interaction with PEOPLE, etc.
The main thing in my opinon is to meet new people. People who are meeting the NEW IMPROVED YOU, which helps you reinforce the changes you are making and the man you are becoming.
And takes your mind OFF of her.
Who cares if she took off her ring again and or listened to hard rock? I mean, if it bothers the kids or scares them, ask them to tell HER that.
OTherwise, you've just got too much time on your hands. YOU control that, however.
good luck
25,
I was VERY surprised by the apology. It was a major event.
I hear you on the GAL. I WILL start getting very serious about that. I DO have too much time on my hands. I have a tendency to be somewhat of a home body at times. Lots of times I am at home working on home improvement projects or cleaning. That needs to change.
Part of my problem is that I feel guilty for taking time out for me and being away from my kids, since I am away from them when at work. I guess I will just have to get over that. Either that or bring the along sometimes.
I think the really cool thing about meeting new people in GAL is that I see how nice I am treated. It is refreshing to have an encounter with someone who treats me kindly and as an equal. My wife, I firmly believe, thinks that she is superior to me, and it comes out in her attitude, eye rolls, and harsh words. I don't get that from others. I feel MUCH better about myself among people that I meet outside my marriage.
I definitely need to keep my mind off of my wife.
I ride a motorcycle, and just signed up with a meetup group in the Boston area. I also like to hike and am looking into getting together with others for that. Other things I like to do:
Go shooting Fishing Biking The gym Skiing Boating Flying Baseball Games
25, I'm gonna look at your list again. I think your prescription for emits exactly what I need.
Thanks for helping me, I will take your advice and act on it.
