I think I belong in Piecing...

It was a difficult night. H is away for the week now, which makes things easier.

I did tell him the next morning - he was in a listening mode - that I think separating (which he seemed to be wanting at least until recently) seemed completely backwards to try to make a M work better. Being apart, dating others, to see if he misses me enough? Would make more sense to throw himself *into* the relationship, doing everything you can to be the best possible spouse for 6-12 months to see if that works.

I'm taking a class that will give me the opportunity to make a lot of money over the next few months - if I work hard enough, it may be the beginning of financial independence for the future. That is my primary (really only) goal right now. I don't have much hope for our M, H is actually nicer now than he's been for most of the time we've been married...

Re GAL, some of my weekly activities have started up for the fall, and I try to meet with girlfriends regularly. I'm also taking a fun class online, but that doesn't get me out of the house. Met with a GF for lunch and some window shopping today.
