Two roads diverged in a yellow wood...

Thanks, I am going to try to stay positive and not let him (and his moods) affect me, which is so hard for me because I am used to him being my whole world. I am trying to be more independant now, and I am quite happy with the results! I am driving around the city more, running more errands, doing more things with my friends, and finding time to exercise and garden.

I grew up in a different town and we moved to the city when my H got a job here. I have a few work friends and some friends from soccer, but most of my friends are wives of his close friends. I think one of my "GAL" things should be hanging out with my friends more often.

I don't have any family here in the city, my closest family is an hour and a half away, which is very hard for me. My friends seem to think I should tell my MIL about what is going on, but from what I've heard that is a BIG NO-NO!! I could not even imagine what she would say about us possibly separating. His parents just had their 40th wedding anniversary. I really like his family a lot, and get along with them well. I think they would be shocked if they found out what was going on. I would be disappointed if we were to separate, because it would mean losing them as part of my family.
