My wife is a conundrum. One minute we can be by one another without any problems, we can laugh, hug and it's like old times. The next she will go distant and start a fight over nothing. As I stated before, I do think she is regretting her decisions and will subconsciously ruin any "good moments" we have, so she doesn't feel as though this was a mistake. Sadly, my kids are the ones who deal with it the worst. My son has told his counselor that he feels he needs to choose sides in this mess. Because he hears his Mother talk ill about his Father. I refuse to bash her in front of the kids. She doesn't care who is around her when she trash talks me.

And like I said, we spent 10 years together. Holidays are sorta hard, because she was a big part of my life. But as you said JulieH, life moves on and I am excited to see what it brings me.

Otherwise, things are ok. J and I are making plans for a future together. No, not marriage, but things like concerts and little trips in a few months. I am happy, just a little reserved I guess.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday. All of you who are starting your journey, please read my threads and GAL!!! That is what kept me sane throughout my journey.
