Fantasy meets Reality

[Notlikingthis]

Thanks Sailing. There are moments when I don't feel like I'm doing the right thing or enough but no expectations is pretty easy for me now. It helps to minimize the frustration, anger and emotional melt downs. Listening to and reading the advice from the "old-timers" on here and those that have been here for longer than I have has made a big difference on how I approach this. I do have to keep telling myself that things will happen on HIS timeline, not mine. Also reminding myself daily that the ow is just another symptom of MLC just as anger, depression, confusion and a host of other behaviors are part of the journey helps me from focusing on her and the betrayal that I felt in the beginning.

You seem to be doing pretty well yourself, S.A. From what I've read on your thread, your w is doing some pretty serious work on herself since moving home. I haven't read your early threads but I do read yours when I get on the forum here, just haven't posted. Thanks for stopping by here and nice to meet you!
