Still NC - Let's do the limbo pt2

[shreeve]

Felt all of those exact feeling Thorn. Waking up in the middle of the night with thoughts racing the same as yours. Have no idea how I managed to get some work done over the last two months. It's hard to believe, but one day you will wake up and she will NOT be the first thing you think about. I've wondered / waited / wished to know my timeline for that to happen, and it was much sooner that I though. Everyone is different, but I don't think about it first thing when I wake up anymore. I think about work / walking the dogs / making an awesome high protein breakfast. I still do think about my wife everyday, but not all day. When I do think of her, it is with fond memories of our marriage / hoping she's still doing great in her new career / hoping she's happy. I imagine I'll always care about her, and I enjoy seeing her / talking to her briefly every week. Starting to like this new single life though, spotted moments of loneliness here and there, but really good for the most part. I remember everyone saying it will get better, and it's hard to believe when your mind is constantly racing and you can't sleep / work / function. But yes, it really does get better.
