Thanks for stopping by. I read your sitch today as well. Lots of similarities in terms of length of marriage, etc. It is all I have known my adult life. Add to that our lives revolving around raising kids as well - time to discover a new part of ourselves. I was happy with what I had, never wanted anything different or "better." I know we need to focus on ourselves and things that will bring us joy and meaning - I just have to figure out what those things are. Definitely some introspection, trial and error, and flat out fake it til you make it needed on my part. I could have never even imagined being in this situation a year ago. I hope to make a few goals for myself over this weekend. I am such a long term planner, the struggle is to not think too far into the future and just focus on personal things I can do a month or so at a time.
Happy New Year! May 2017 bring a bit of piece to us all and move us further along in this journey.
