I have definitely had my best day yet today, I took a road trip for business with my partner. We laughed, cut up, and even had some serious moments of discussion about the R (he has been through a D). It did sort of click that my happiness isn't dependent on the marriage. That's a big mistake I've been making for years. I'm independent of the marriage. I can be happy with or without her. Was the craziest feeling...something I haven't had in 15 years. Also the first time I finished a full meal in a week! Lol. Anyway, detached from W when I got home...she continues to pull away and act pissed. I'll be patient with her because I know she's hurt, angry and upset (and she just buried her uncle). I also continue to show her unconditional love, and contribute happily to household chores, etc, But I am working on me and my relationship with my kids...ain't nobody got time for that negativity she's showing me.
