Labug, Thanks for checking in! Had a great time with friends. Also had some good reality checks: everyone's got their sh!t, and lots of people are unhappy (or maybe "under - happy" is a better term) in their relationships. What my H and I were dealing with was not at all unusual...and the fact that he just couldn't or wouldn't deal with it with me doesn't mean that no one will.
I also realized how much my outlook on myself and life has changed-- I am so much less concerned with what others think of me (these friends included), and so much more able to see the positives and enjoy my life.
So, It was relaxing and good to catch up, and also such a good chance to realize how far I've come.
I continue to be grateful to MWD and the generous souls on this forum, especially people like you, labug, (and maybell, too! And so many others!) Who make me feel sane and keep me in check and make me feel less alone in this journey.
The sun is shining, spring is here, I have a beautiful daughter who makes me smile. It's all good. Thanks.
