First post here...just starting to GAL and 180.

[RDS]

Thx. I have read all the threads you posted, some a few times, and I'm well into DR. I have asked questions in my short posts since I had questions on nuances. I believe in the strategies and the GAL in particular. I've been busy with my sewing, gardening, my horse, out with friends, quad riding, artwork, kayaking as well as time with my kids. It's so hard just to pull back and not share my thoughts and body with WH.
Just felt really alone past two days, busy and lonely.

Col, I know the weekends are the worst for me. It seems most of my GAL is during the week and during the weekend the house seems so lonely, and as Cadet says, the weekend does slow down considerably around here. I've wanted to give you advice but your sitch is different than mine as my W walked out on me so I have very little contact with her, so I wasn't sure what pointers I could give you. I'm supposed to have lunch with her tomorrow and if if it doesn't fall through then it will be the first time in over two months.

I don't know which is worse, having your spouse in the same house or being away. In my case I think her being away is a good thing for me. Even though it hurts a lot it does force me to be "me" and to get better on my own. It also forced me to see how bad I had become and as long as I was still living with my W I was never going to change.

Keep posting, look at other posters' threads, respond to them, and people will try to help. I'm very guilty of not posting on others threads. I read every one and I try to gather as much information in those threads as I can.

Take care.
