That's a tall order. Not that I'm not willing to give anything a try - more that I will lack the opportunity - but we will be co-parenting for years so I guess I really can't make that excuse. Other than the obvious lapses the last year, my STBX does have good judgement and I've always trusted him, but I'm not sure why he never felt he couldn't take more of a leadership role in the relationship.
The irony here is that I always wanted him to take the reins more. I remember a couple of years ago - begging him to actually pick the restaurant we went to for once - and I literally had to beg. Just a small example.
Anyway - in GAL news we closed out the soccer season in third place today. Not bad for a complete newbie coach. All the parents seemed thrilled that I would be willing to coach again next year and they got me the sweetest card and gift certificate to a local restaurant. I don't lack self confidence - but parts of my ego are a little fragile right now - and that was an unexpected and needed boost.
And now - all of you who read these boards and are worn out with all these deep relationship questions - I've got something more practical I need advice on. I want to take up fishing as part of GAL . Its always seemed like a soothing activity and it since we do live in the Sierra Nevadas it would be something outdoorsy to do with the girls. I'm not really sure where to start. I saw a Groupon for a Fly Fishing course - but that seemed a little advanced to start with. How does one pick up fishing? I was going to do my usual route of books and Youtube videos but I'm open to suggestion.
