Gordie: Pulling it all together

[Woke_Up]

Gordie, just caught up - great re-cap, open and honest. I feel for you man, I see the similarities with some of my sitch, and with others. If you ever figure out how to stop doing things for your W when she asks, let me know! I'm terrible at that part.

Anyway, Zues and kentS advice is wise. You have some great future plans, focus on those. It's so easy to let go of the things that gave you passion and made you feel alive... I'm trying to get some of those back. I left them behind mostly due to W resenting me pursuing them while she felt trapped into looking after kids. I wasn't overly appreciative of her position.

This forum has been great for making me examine myself. Anyway, you are doing great. Believe that. There's good days. There's bad days. And the majority are 'meh' days, where you survive, and think about the kids.

Your analysis is good, but I'm quite sure what the others say about not reading into W's statements is true. They don't know what they want, so we cannot know, whatever they say.

Stay strong, I'll keep following your sitch.
