Hey HWA and TVS! So good to hear from you. I'm never far away, I just don't post a lot because you guys are getting great advice anyways. I'm always keeping up with your posts.
TVS I read a post of URWs about FB a/c. I'm going to try and track you down there. HWA you have grown so much I know you are going to get through this and be OK one way or the other.
On a personal note, my R is going well with H. Although he has chosen not to talk about the past, and sometimes I still feel a little short changed because of that, overall I know he is doing the best he can. I have noticed a shift in his attitude because he is responding to my changes in a more positive way. We are going on a trip at the beginning of Nov, and I have thought about raising things with him then, depending on how we go. On the other hand maybe is best left alone. I'll see how it turns out.
Presently, I am in training for Dragon Boating Qld State team, so have been doing plenty of GAL and making lots of new friends. H is still coming to terms with a new job after 27 years at the other. He lacks a little confidence, but is doing well. Geeze 12 months ago I had reconnected with H, but our job situations were concerning. If it hadn't been for my new attitude to life, I don't think I would have come of it as well as I did. As well, I was also able to stick with H and support him through some really tough changes. Am feeling proud of myself.
So TVS yes I am happy because that is what I chose to be. Realising its not up to anyone else but me to achieve that. Even at 56 its never too late to learn something.
