Last night W and I met up with her family for dinner, and then her 2 brothers and their W and fiance came to our home afterwards. W was like the life of the party, all perky and assertive. Quite the opposite of the old quiet, reserved her. I'm sure she acts like this with her friends. Not sure if it's the new her, a mask, or a bit of both, as she still seems depressed at other times.
When the conversation turned to honeymoons, W resentfully stated: "FY took me to the Street Machine Nationals". (a big car show in Springfield) I responded that we also bought a lovely home that we were able to move into as soon as we returned... something many young married couples are not able to do.
W, with some resentment towards me, and pride in herself: "I decided if I wanted to travel, I'd have to do something about it". Not actually vocalized by me: Yes, you did honey, and I did a lot of things for us too.
While ordering drinks the waitress joked I wasn't old enough to drink! LOL
Overall everyone had a good time.

Early this morning W and my Lil Sis left for four nights in a fancy Riviera Maya resort. Yep, on my own until late Thursday night! Kinda nice to get some space actually. Wednesday night I have my first visit with an IC.

I signed up for the Navigating Divorce course. First lesson was about writing a "Desired Horizon", and avoiding things that prevent you from staying on course to reach your destination. Lesson 2 was about D legalities and terms. So far, I'm the only student posted in the discussion area. I hope others join in.

I told W my plan to put new tires and brakes on her car to give us more time to make a wise choice on any possible replacement. She's on board, and not in any hurry to buy anything. I've been reading reviews on vehicles we've been considering. We both kinda like the G-37 coupe. One review for this car actually opened with: If you have that mid life crises itch... (!!!)
Maybe we'll get a red one.

Ur: I sent you a fb msg. Let me know if you didn't get it and I'll go back to figure out what I did wrong. You all are definitely worth any trouble!
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
