Hi Roist, I think the packing away of the sexy underwear is a good sign as she's not in a place where she wants to put that on and go out with a WW mindset! Well done with completing the DIY job too.

I understand what you are saying about progress being much more difficult when you are at home. I'm sure posters like HaWho would attest to the great challenge of keeping yourself happy and grounded in a less than optimal situation.

I haven't ever done that as we S at BD - though I had a few unhappy months prior to that when XH had been seeing OW and then broke it off (but didn't) and was pretty checked out. I began to long to be in my home town when I went to visit my folks, and found returning to the marital home difficult and draining.

I certainly find that the nourishing activities like yoga, gratitude, exercise, inspirational listening and reading, meditation really help me - and it sounds as though you are active in at least some of these areas.

I have also seen people post that it really helped them to remember - there is always a choice and I am here because I choose to stay - today, tomorrow, this week, this month - for as long as you choose to make that choice.

Anyway - not much wisdom I'm afraid - I'm hoping a wiser poster may come along and help our more - but I wish you a good day and I enjoyed the chat!

Best wishes Roist :-)
