Thanks for the support...WW you are one to talk, seems like I remember you disappearing for extended periods of time...glad things seem to be working for you.
Z, Mal, Dagny, Hacker, Ellie..thanks for the support. Don't have any good answers. Just extremely slow progress. One step forward, a step back kind of thing...sometimes it's really frustrating.
She is seeing a C up here. It was supposed to be both of us, but the C wants to talk to her for a while first. I've pretty much given up on ever getting us to work on our problems...she's too wrapped up in her own and we definitely need a referee. I don't bring up R anymore. Trying to be here for her and just let it happen. There is progress. We'll go days. sometimes even a couple of weeks where we get along pretty well. The wall never comes down entirely, but most of the time I think we have a good time. Although the next time she's down, she makes sure I know that "nothing has changed" Still it's better than it was a couple of years ago.
Ellie, I've tried the 5LL book and almost every other R technique I can think of. Frankly I'm tired of reading relationship books. I don't think I make much of a dent. I think W needs to check out a couple. (yeah, like that'll happen )
I'm also trying to watch the work stuff too. Most days I'm home by 6 or 6:30. Still long days but not like it used to be.
Where is it going? I don't really know. I truely don't know if she'll be here when I get home from work every day. She's got some serious issues she needs to deal with and I'm not sure I can help with them.
She got mad at me before she left to visit her sister over Labor Day. Said she wasn't coming back. Changed her mind twice. Now says she's coming home tomorrow. I just say OK. I'm very tempted to say "Why bother?"
On a positive note, College Football has started again. YS's team one their first home game...The Nittany Lions lost...but the season is still young.
Well, tomorrow is another day. Got to go back to work.
