Had a great convo with DB Coach Laurie today and I think we'll just stay the course--loving detachment and no expectations given where W is right now (see more below). I will pursue the counselling and have found an IMAGO/SBT C in Manhattan that I'll give a whirl with W's approval (C says she is pro-R).
Laurie also gave me sound advice in that my immediate goal sounds less about restoring the M right now and more about preserving the family as I know it. If that's the goal, it becomes somewhat easier to detach from M because that R is less of my focus. (Did I get that right Laurie?)
The next eight days look calm. We have houseguests for the next two nights--a woman who introduced my W to bible study and her two sons. And then I head to DC with S9 on Friday-Saturday for my Rotisserie Baseball draft. Sunday is Easter and the Islanders are at home for the playoffs Monday and Wednesday--which I'll attend.
Briget, I'd love to visit you outside Tampa to see the Isles-Lightning games this week, but I'd just get in trouble with you (I told Laurie that of all my DB buddies, you were the one with whom I'd most likely want to have an internet affair--a 5 ft tall pool hustler with sexy lotion who will try anything new and is as committed to M as they come grin----).
Just kidding Brig and I hope you take no offense. My W is my only lady love and I hope U-dog will vouch that I'm a nice guy. But I also know that one day you will secure the blessings you seek. Hang in there gal.
Since our house guests are likely to prevent me from accessing my computer at home, I may be off for a while. But you guys will always be with me in my thoughts and prayers. Keep on fighting the good fight y'all.
