Newby here, desperate for some advice (thread 2)

[JRuss]

For Gump -- thanks for the thoughtful reply. Yeah, one thing I struggle with is the fact that she is a lawyer, is a planner, generally follows through on what she plans or plots out; so I get down thinking that this is all already done and dusted, and she's just executing this long, slow exit, and that she'll never stop and reconsider until our family is smashed up.

Then I see this other, more frantic, less together side, and, like I said, it was interesting.

Re next week, be assured I have no expectations of any sort of breakthrough or progress with W. More I was thinking, if I can keep my DB-ing hat on, that it will give me a chance I don't usually have to detach and not be right there, same as I always am, because I'm there trying to be a Dad all the time.

All I've really come up with is some GALing. Personal trainer/workout Tuesday. Need something good Monday. W actually mentioned getting something to eat out, just the two of us, Sunday PM when I get back from dropping the kids off with grandparents. We'll see, I guess.

I hope you have a great weekend -- get out and do something just for you!
