Me and my 2 daughters

[Irish M]

HTM, Gwen and Bttrfly
All is good. I'm staying my path and not looking back.
She is clearly a bad nut in my bag of peanuts.
If that makes sense lol

I did get another text message from her yesterday.
She said
" tell your parents hi for me. I miss them so much"

Nothing about the girls .. Ok
I did not reply.

A little while later she messages me
" don't say hi if you think that it will upset them"

I won't pass the message on to my parents. They loved her like a daughter and hurt still. No need to sit that pot

Life is good. I'm just stepping over the bread crumbs she is throwing down on the ground.
If CLd was here, I'm sure he'd say she's coming back. I know she's not.
To those who follow these threads you know better. Let her bake, she has a long way to go.

You are doing well staying the course and not replying to the little subtle lines she is tossing out there to read some sort of reaction from you. We sometimes have to remind ourselves how much they really need to bake and as bad as it is play this to the script like a game.

Real movement will not happen for some time so you are ahead of the curve moving forward with your life as you are, doing it with serious style I might add.

Thanks Cali
Means a lot coming from you.

Well I had amazing GAL this weekend , apple picking, Halloween shopping, some photography and an Irish pub to end it all. Funny thing is I forgot that it was my wedding anniversary lol

Last year at this time only a few months after BD I dreaded Oct 1st
This year I forgot about it. I see now why she has been popping her head out of her hole lately. Key dates she tends to do that.

I'm so proud of myself for not dwelling on the date. I only realized I missed it an hour ago. So it proves that in time we LBS's grow stronger.

Hope you all had a good weekend

A fun filled weekend...well done! It takes time, but we do tend to focus on other things when those special dates come around...but it takes time.

Good to hear you had a good weekend Irish.

Glad you're in such a good place as to not stress over the anniversary anymore.

Mine was in August; was surprised that W acknowledged it by saying... "I know what the day is but I won't say it." still, that was more than I was expecting.

Irish pub, eh... any Guinness downed?

[Irish M]

hi bttrfly, job and HTM

Yes dates affect my XW more than me now. She pops out of her hole then disappears. I guess the next time i'll hear from her will be at Xmas.

yes it was an amazing weekend, Guinness is a must, it's my preferred stout.

Had another great weekend this week. Did a nice hike up Whiteface mountain in new york state and took lots of pics. Colors were amazing. I was a bit surprised on the amount of ice and snow on the top. 4800 ft above sea level and -3c but they say it snows up there on cold July nights.


i came across a video on facebook. A must watch. I'm not sure if I can share it here but it's a must watch. Not sure if its from a tv show or sketch but it hits GAL and working on yourself dead on.
