S had first session with new therapist, and it went so well! I couldn't believe the difference between the before and after. He went in there down, nervous and just not wanting to be there. He came out smiling(!), and happy to set an appointment for another session. As we walked back to the car, he gave me a big hug and said, "Thank you." That felt tremendous.
I also opened a bank account in my name only, which also felt pretty tremendous. It felt like a big step in the detachment process. I wasn't sad or anxious - it felt rather liberating, tbh.
H interviewed for a job at a new restaurant opening in Savannah. Said it went really well. It's a company that owns several restaurants in the Lowcountry area (Charleston, Pawley's Island, etc), so even if he doesn't end up with the position at that particular restaurant, there is a strong likelihood that he could get a position at one of the others. This also did not send me into a screaming panic. While I do still believe in this marriage, I know the best thing for me to do is let go, move forward, and let him deal with his MLC.
