Trying to stay focus on me.....this is a challenge

[Di-mond]

I just read through both of your threads and can so identify with your struggles.
My H and I are "piecing" and have had a couple of MC sessions with more planned. We do "eventually" want to live together again and that I itself is a great thing, but we both still have a lot of work ahead of us to get there. We date, we talk and text on the phone periodically throughout he day, we are intimate and spend at least one night a week together.

My struggle as of late has been working on myself. I let myself backslide to familiar territory and seem to be reliving our marriage. I've been needy and at times irrational. I need to get back on my horse and focus on myself. Just because my H and I are " hopefully" reconciling does not mean I can stop with my GAL and 180's. I still need to be a better, more independent person for myself and for the future of my M.

What I'm trying to say Cindy is that I admire your courage. I admire that, yes we can backslide and then pick ourselves up again and try again. I will be dusting off my copies of DB and DR and re-evaluate my goals. I have been sick with a chest and sinus infection for the past 4 weeks, but slowly improving. Now I need to get out again and continue with my GAL activities. I can see that you have a great support system here. People that care and will guide and support you through your struggles. I love this forum and although I don't post very often, I gather strength and guidance from reading other peoples situations, such as yours. Thank you! I too lived my life for everyone else and it is so tough trying to figure out what Diana likes and what Diana wants and needs. You are not alone in your struggles!
