Oh, I'm nowhere near where I want to be! Lol!!!! But I'm working on it, so I'm headed in the right direction, huh? wink

You enjoying yourself without him is NOT a betrayal. In fact, you owe it to yourself and your children. That's not to say you go out and pick up strange men weekly, but why should your life be put on hold any more than it has?

For me, the hardest part of GAL was finding friends who don't know about my sitch to hang out with. I haven't told but 4 people. The other ones I answer with evasive answers when they ask where H is. I simply am not ready to go public. He doesn't have social media, so it's actually been fairly easy to keep things discreet. But, I've limited myself for GAL options in the process.

What about you? Do you have friends who can distract you? The friends who do know my sitch know I don't want to talk about it- makes it easier to get it off my mind.

I know you're struggling with detaching- if you can occupy yourself it will be easier.
