I promise to give you an update when i am able to get a few minutes to spare. I will have to think about what has been happening....i feel a lot better within myself at least.
@Fartiltre, what you suggest is in line with what i have read. I simply don't seem to be able to ignore our anniversary. I am going to go and buy a card and chocolates. That seems to be a good compromise. I suppose that i don't have to actually give her the card and chocolates. I will feel better for having bought them though. It just seems so rude to ignore today....just a sentimental bloke i suppose.
And on that note, i propose to wrap this thread up. It seems appropriate. I want to thank all of the people who have read and contributed to my thread(in the early days KD's support meant the world to me, and i wish we were allowed to send messages to other members or exchange email addresses somehow), but more generally, to everyone on this site. It is heartening to see so many people willing to fight for their relationships. Giving up is all too easy sometimes. Finding the strength to carry on is rewarding in itself. I am a rebel without a clue...but as Fartiltre points out - i need a plan. Something for another thread i think.
