I’m totally with you about having some guy friends. I was just not very successful doing this, LOL. The guys I thought would be good friends turned out to wanting more from me, LOL. I can only rely on a few guys who have GFs. The GF bond is something else thought. I’m very grateful that I have a few GFs who are true friends and we can talk about anything in the world.
It is great that you get noticed with your art prints! I love art, even though I’m a nerd by profession, hahaha!

About your last post… about the pictures from the vacation home… I so feel the pain… of you seeing the pictures of your H driving the boat with some of these kids that you’ve known from births… I’ve been there, ciluzen, trust me… I don’t know if I can give you any advice here… I only know my own story and that I managed to get the vacation home that was claimed by my H as his home, as a place that I can also enjoy on my own, regardless of what he is doing there. I understand that you still have an access to the vacation home when your H is not there. You can invite your own friends and have some great time over there! I know how it feels to see all this “fun” that your H is supposedly having over there. It could all be false, you know. I know I thing. As much as people were telling me to abandon the vacation home and find a new place for me to enjoy… I knew subconsciously that I needed to be there at the vacation home to heal… to claim it as my own fun spot, not related to H. Then I could release it… And, guess what happened… I ended up buying my own condo there. I feel confident. I feel that my H cannot take it away from me… I’m not saying that you should do the same, but you claim that vacation home as fun place for you, regardless of what your H does there.

I know these feelings of being tossed out and abandoned… At the end of the day, all these people are not his family, including the Bubbles. It is not what it looks like, ciluzen. One day he is going to realize that… All you need to worry is your happiness! Make your life the way you want it! Screw the Bubbles and everyone who thinks that what our H is going is ok. I don’t know if I’m making much sense here. I can never claim myself as a vet here, LOL… as my thoughts can be somewhat irrational… Plus… I’m always kind of an optimist, hahaha…

And the pain will go away, eventually. You are probably one of these people who don’t get over things easily. I am one of those too… All I can tell you is that it is going to get better. One step at a time. Hang in there.
