Newbie needs advice and encouragement

[Kramer]

She texted me last night and was very friendly. Said that her son was cooking burgers, and that she missed my cooking. (I did all the cooking in our house, and I'm good at it). I told her that I missed cooking for everyone.

Told her that I needed SUV this weekend, and she asked if I was going to the coast. I responded with a simple No.

I'm doing my best to GAL and remain fairly dark, but the depression is mounting. I don't want to be cooking for 1 person or doing things alone. I loved being part of a family and being married. I'm good with others in a relationship, and do not like being single. This [censored].

It's ironic. These past few years, I was looking forward to when the kids all got old enough to move out so that me and my wife could reconnect and do things together, just the 2 of us. However, she was also looking forward to the kids getting older, so that she could leave me and start fresh without obligations.
