Thanks RSG, it is baby steps for me. My sitch turned around so fast my time to DB was limited to less than a month, but I recognize the benefit of living it forever, so I will continue.
So, W came back from karate and started asking all the questions I thought I wanted her to ask earlier, but once she started asking, I realized it was my time and my experiences, so I gave limited details and focused more on the laughs and Male bonding we all had.
I've managed to not ask questions today, except for one, which was regarding how things are going at the fire station since I posted the texts, I figured that was a fair question since it was my doing, and I just validated her response. Basically she said that there is a lot less chit chat when at the station, and she's just basically cut back on trying to bond with the others and is just doing the job and letting time go by and for things to settle down.
So I'm thinking that coming to this site may be triggering my mind to run wild with thoughts of the affair, so I may try and stay off during the upcoming work week. I'm not making it a hard and fast rule, just gonna cut back a little and see if that affects me and my thoughts at all. I will come on if anything happens worthy of posting or seeking advice, but other wise just wanted to say I'm not leaving the site, just taking a breather.
We have our first gottman based MC on Tuesday, looking forward to it.
