Dealing with WAW part 5

[pilot]

Hey I'm known for a dark sense of humor, but I don't get the humor here. I get the irony, yes, but it doesn't strike me as "funny" so much as ironic and bitter.

I don't think a joke would work well here, especially since it IS more of the same old "hide/deny the pain" you.

Moving on....how are your 180s and GAL going?

Point taken and well said.

My 180s (new ones at least) seem to be doing ok. I started yesterday with initiating a phone call (first in months) to talk about good news instead of just texting. I am going to push all the LF stuff aside as well as to not let that cloud anything. In other words, quit going for the 'im moving on and there could be someone else' image. I have continued to dress sharp every time I see her, a 180 from years of marriage where I flat did not care about dressing up (always had nice clothes but probably wore the same 4 shirts in a row for years) haha. My PMA around her and on the phone, and as best possible, shown through texting has been elevated from the last couple of weeks. New GAL is going to be coaching both my sons' soccer teams. This will be twice a week and I am certain my W will be attending all of them. I have a boating trip planned with the kiddos this coming Sunday...halfway considering inviting W, but not really certain on it.
