Bond...Thanks for the info. Appreciate the insight into your sitch. One thing I have trouble with is that my sitch is reversed. I was the cheater and the W is the person who was left behind. When your W came out of the fog, I'm assuming she approached you first to discuss the sitch? how did you respond? In my case, I continue to work on myself and GAL, do I just pray at some point W "comes back" to the M (even though I'm the one who left her behind)?
Maybell...No worries. I have become interested in practically everyone else's insight/sitches on here. I don't feel hijacked at all. Thank you for the kind words...I am doing ok. The actual divorce part is so much harder than I thought...it seems so cold.
I'm having trouble with the GAL. Because W and I work together, several people here who we used to hang out with have backed off, not wanting to act like they are taking sides. These are people we have known for 20 plus years. A lot of my friends came from W's side, so to speak. So I don't really have a lot of my own friends, if you will. Been helping mom and dad around the house a lot. Looking for some volunteer opportunities. Honestly, though, everytime I do something, I think of how great it would be if W and I were to do that together...that depresses me. I don't know how to not think that when I do those things.
