Caliguy, amazing post. Thank you so much for taking the time. I really love hearing from other LBH who have been there, especially ones who have reconciled, or are in the process, such as yourself. Yes, I agree that V and Sandi are incredible and I appreciate their input more than I can express. I had actually read several posts from both before even creating an ID and putting my own story out there. When they started replying in my thread, it was almost like having a couple of rock stars take the time to say Hello.
I'm going to go back and re-read as you suggested, but I think I get the gist of the recent advice. Set my boundaries, no more Mr. Nice Guy to WW, respect myself, GAL, and be the best father, brother, son, friend I can be. And then settle in for the long road ahead. I'm only around 4 months out, although it feels like years at times, and realize I'm still very early in the process. I also realize that there are no guarantees, but I certainly want to give myself and my family the best chance possible, and I believe that will happen by following the fantastic advice in the DB books and this forum.
Thanks so much everyone who has taken the time to reply. I will continue to provide updates and seek advice. You people are incredible.
