So just taking a break from sorting. Most of the photos of my wife are now down and my clothes have spread out significantly in the wardrobe
In some ways it might have been easier in a new house as it wouldn't have the associations. Fundamentally the house is always going to be the house my wife left from and I'm still gutted by that.
A few boxes of things going safely in the loft so I have them but I won't see them. One day they might come back out......
Ganb8te, I saw your reply. Thanks. I was surprised by your take on the subservience - I didn't read that at all but I guess thats my male perspective. I can see that it gives men a few too many 'excuses' though. The first two pages of the book were a but of a shock because it describes exactly my wife's no.1 complaint.
To be honest I feel like I've done a lot more of the same since BD, and wonder if I should have done it differently but the advice is withdraw and GAL so thats what I did. (Definitely should have been less hysterical on the day though).
Will read HTIYMWTAI soon though. Its been in my pile I've just not picked it up - something about the how to fix things when both still committed upsets me as I see how easily this could have been avoided (and now fixed)
