Thanks 25!
I'm really doing my best at the PMA thing. I get reminders from my W many times per day how it will not be good if the school thing doesn't pan out. So the stress there is real and constant, but I think I have to remain at least somewhat patient, even if she won't.

I'm looking forward to IC tonight as maybe she can give me some advice on how to handle it when my W says I ruined everything. I acknowledge that I made everything a lot worse when I got involved in an EA after she dropped the bomb. I thought things were 100% done and that all that was left was to move on. Too bad I didn't find this site first.

Oh well, you live and you learn. And I'm not sure her eyes would have opened w/out that situation. I actually think the thing she is most mad about, that I had the OW and her kids around our kids is what made her realize that divorce isn't so great. Mind reading I know, but it does let me be at peace some with what happened.

Like I said, I hope my IC can help me figure out how to diffuse that a little.

Yeah, my attitude is actually pretty good right now. Work is about to start soon, so that should help.

I've dedicated myself to getting up early every day to get a workout in. There are classes Monday-Thursday from 5:15-6:15 that I can go to and get back in time to get ready for work and on Friday I can "sleep in" and go for a run at more like 5:30 to 6.

I'm set to join an adult soccer league that starts in September, and I think I'm going to sign up for a 5K later in the fall.

I know the only thing of those that REALLY is GAL is the soccer league because I can make friends there while the other two are just exercise.

D talk has slowed, a lot.
Gradually working on things together. Still separate bedrooms.
Slow and Steady wins the race.
