Well, this is the closer the has come to actually doing something. He responded to my email with this: 'I will find a mediator in our area.' I was doing fairly well, for a while, but I feel like I am backtracking lately. It seems that all is lost. He has really stayed away and made himself scarce now. I think he finally has decided to actually go ahead with the D. Still has not shown up to cut the lawn - and it needs it now. A few more days and I will have to call someone to do it.

I really think it is over now for good. Am I just giving up too easily? How do I keep trying when we do not communicate at all now? I am so tired. Tired of feeling bad, and not knowing how, what, when. Have been GAL'ing myself silly for a year now but feel like I am spinning my wheels because I am still in our house, have another house and piece of property that will have to be sold, etc. One year and I am still here, while he carries on with OW and her 2 young kids whose father just left the home about a year ago too. Sad. Any pick-me-ups y'all can offer? I just feel very sad and 'defeated' I guess. I tried everything I could to save this marriage and it is like I was talking to a brick wall the entire time. Time to throw in the towel and start my life over again - at 51?? Just thinking about dating kind of makes me tired. So much effort for an introvert like me...And I am just very sad that what once was so good now no longer exists...
