Wife left me three weeks ago!

[alpha99]

I've just read the first 140 pages this evening of DR, which came today. I plan on reading the rest of the book tomorrow and re-reading various key sections. I like the more systematic approach to DR over DB, though both books are excellent. I'm actually looking forward to the week ahead now as I've arranged to go out with friends, play some golf at the weekend, and join a language group. I will try and take my children out for tea one day this week and maybe even go bowling with them. If my wife wants to come then great but if not that's fine too. I am.starting to get my old self back. For sure there will be good and bad days (today has been a bad day) but I will get on with living, try some techniques, more 180s, start LRT again now I have a better understanding of it. There have been some successes this week mixed in with all the turmoil: W was nicer yesterday, has asked about my day once or twice, has waved goodbye to me once or twice as I've left etc. If course there's been downsides too but I do think although she seems to be ploughing on regardless maybe the reality if her situation is beginnging to hit home. Her folks wouldn't mind kids this evening, I woukdnt due to her behaviour today, so right now she'll be sat alone with the kids in bed. I did text to apologise about being a jerk over not having the kids. I also expressed how I felt she had messed me about, but said at the time I knew she'd been working hard and was tired from that etc.

A good way to end the day, feeling positive having read half of DR, ready to try something new and different tomorrow.
