My my my how a couple of weeks slip away when you are dealing with the plague and work being busy.

Let me take care of one piece of business... *kicks over the pedestal* Ok. Much better. smile

I am beyond excited and extremely jealous of your business! That sounds like a crazy amount of fun, and I LOVE the service area. Can't describe how much I wish you success! Wish we had a PM ability here so I could get the details.

Now that itch I've been having about getting out in the woods is being scratched even more... Went looking for hiking boots over the weekend. Bought the shock cord and ordered the amsteel I needed for my tarp's ridge line (hammock camper here). About to break out my bike and get it greased up and ready. Still need to get a frame bag or bluetooth headphones.

Now to fulfill your request. The main advice I have for you is to let go and really detach. I don't necessarily mean throwing in the towel but not letting her affect you. Maybe I'm wrong, but what I'm reading is a lot of you reacting to changes in her life and how it "affects" you. Quite a bit of How can I manipulate her reactions? Do you remember the difference in me from when I tried to manipulate, mind read, and push to when I internalized the "Not my circus, not my monkeys" mentality? Yeah, that way of living.

I get that you love this woman. We all do. But she isn't seeing you. She is still strongly in the fog. It doesn't matter either, because you have boundaries. You have strength. You have two little ones who lean on their father for support and guidance (remember how my S6 did the same?_. What will they learn from a father who is rude to an OM? Or one who passively chases after an XW who Ded for an A? Or one who starts his own business, thrives, and is a PMA-filled, GALing SOB who keeps moving forward?

Do you realize you've preached ^^ that at me before?
