It's hard. I want to have faith. I truly want to believe.
Once W decides then that's that. She never compromises.
I just feel the need to do something about our M and not just focusing on myself. I just don't know what to do.

It's a paradox in a way.

But I found that when I really let go of my m, turned it over to God, & just worked on ME, that is when my h began his own shift home. Not overnight, but there were unmistakable signs that he had noticed changes in me, which intrigued him.

It is a paradox. Sounds like breaking up this relationship in order to build a new one?

When I truly believed that, when i KNEW i was going to be happy again, regardless, and began making plans for my new life, an inner peace came to me.

I began looking forward to my new life (& freedom), and then....somehow it radiated from within. I mean it began to show on the outside..

How will I ever know? How long does it takes?
I'm trying to forgive myself. Not one day goes by without feeling regretful.
I'm just standing by, watching my M slipping away.

Yes, Ma'am.
Looked up 'meetup.com'. Will be signing up soon.
There groups for singles only. Looks interesting.
There are also groups for business & entrepreneur meetings. Looks interesting too.
Been swimming after BD.
Still searching for IC. You're right. I really do need to talk to someone.

Overcoming inertia is the hardest part. Once you are out there, you won't regret it.

I will.


On another note, my partner found his 'way' again. At least, some good news.
