What should I say? I am only on my fourth thread - and I think we joined around the same time. I hate the waiting place.

Raliced, I know how you feel about living in a small community. I was at a post-camp barbecue for my daughter. We went as a family. OM was there with his STBXW. What a *lovely* frown reunion it was. I put on a big smile and focused on my children, but inside I was a mess. thoughts going off in every direction. Driven to complete distraction. I am surprised I didn't put mustard on the watermelon instead of the hot dog. Like you said: exhausting.

I suppose this is our test. I am told that with time, and a daily dose of detachment, eventually emotions cool down and they are less consuming. Our presence here on DB is a testament to the fact that communication is important to us, so it is hard not knowing what our Ss are thinking. I too have no clue what my WW is planning, if anything. Last week, I came home to find a dog in our house. This week, my W launched a new business. As usual, we are the last to know.

One thing I realized: the ramifications of a change are not easily predicted. I hope that whatever the change in dynamic, it works out well for you.

Sorry, again, about your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
