I don't know how to detach or maybe I just don't want to.

I am struggling with GAL as well. I don't know what to do. The Coach says it should be something interesting - something that shows him look shes interesting. I am mostly a homebody.

I don't understand. Would you elaborate? How could I use it wisely?

Its an Affair. He is very unsocial when he is home. He sits in front of the main television and plays video games until it is time for bed which for him is very early 7:30/8:00. I have been told I walk on egg shells around him. Sometimes I agree with this but in reality I am just guarded. My stepdaughter (16) lives with us full time and knows things are difficult. She does not know about the Affair only that because of all his work travel we grew apart. I won't tell her.

We do not sleep in the same room anymore. I try to "pretend" things are fine but she can tell.
