Waiting game at this point just stinks. W is an intelligent woman who has seen things for what they are at times during the ride. She just isn't ready to let go of her OM crutch and start the work of accepting her actions. That would mean pulling herself up by her bootstraps and standing up to what she's done and being a responsible adult.

What I do with the time she has given me is make myself a better man. I've always only had a very small circle of friends and haven't been really outgoing in general. I find myself being much friendlier and taking initiative to care about friends lives and concerns.

Losing weight and getting fit has been rewarding. I had a younger coworker tell me yesterday that I looked good and if I wasn't married, that shed want to date me. She said 3 times, "Your wife must be proud of you." I didn't know what to say to that. I also got 2 big hugs from women friends in W's presence last night. These are actually her friends first, who became my friends as a result. Both ladies laughing and smiling the whole time. 2 more hugs than I've gotten from her in 6 months.
