as_it_is - my adventure continues (part 4)

[PigPen]

Thanks for stopping by my thread As, your input is really helpful.

I do see a lot of the parallels in our situations despite my lack of kids to work with. Our W's seem to be in similar spots - making what would appear on paper to be progress with us as H's, but doing so while continuing to head for the door. Maybe this is just how it has to happen before they'll be willing to stop, look back and possibly turn around.

Your point about not worrying about the M as it's too far out in the future is spot on, I feel that too. Now it's about rebuilding a friendship, a long one. That in itself is a challenge when the interactions are interspersed with business, and DB'ing.

I like the focus on you and work, I'm doing the same thing. I've even thought that if my W today were to somehow make her own 180 and tell me, I'm ready to work on R 100% I'd let her know that I'm still considering traveling for all of next year and that isn't going to change no matter what happens between us. I gave all of this year to her decision, next year is mine.

Keep keeping on As. From my perspective your sitch is making progress too. It's hard for all of us to see from the inside, but you've got this handled well in my book.

We all appreciate how much you give on this board too, I don't think there's a single person on here who hasn't benefited by you dropping by and lending your thoughts.

Have a great Saturday. Big hug to you.
