What the hell do you want? Is she having an affair? Is that game over? How do you know.......your gut knows

I want my family back together. I want to move back and start working on making my marriage better. I want my wife and I to reconnect in a way we haven't been able to in years.

I don't know if there is an PA, but I know part of the breakdown was aided by a friendship with a guy she works out with. she said it is not a EA and told me that he would never sleep with her while she was married, which tells me they talked about it, so sounds like EA material to me.

It is not a deal breaker for me.

I drag my butt out of bed and jump on the treadmill and run for 3 miles, then I meditate for 40 minutes before I get ready for work.

I also am going to start seing a IC who works for the psychiatrist who put me on wellbutrin

I am looking into some art classes, so far I have found on general class that I think I will be joining and then there is a painting class I want to sign up for too.
I am thinking of learning to weld, I found a place that offers a 2 hour course and then I also paid for a 2 hour intro to stained glass class.

I would also like to reconnect with a few friends and rebuild a scooter that has just been sitting there for a decade or so. That is something one of my friends offered, and I like the idea.

Yes sir. I sure do need to get better on not snooping. It has only brought me pain. I am doing my best to not lie too. Honestly! In fact I am currently reading the art of communicating by Thich Nhat Hanh

um... I guess I will try to remind myself that I am still alive when that happens, and do my best to carry on and not let it drag me down too much if I can help it. Hopefully I will be off moderation at that point and can look to the forums for support.

Thank you. I have started a journal and will try to keep at it on a more regular basis. I tend to only journal when I feel really bad, and I am thinking that I need to get the positive feelings in there too.

I do plan to keep posting, and I try to read the rules at least 2 times a day, plus I have a copy in my car and one by my workstation at the office.

Thank you for believing in me!
