Regarding my GAL efforts its more just doing it as her friends and family were those closest to me and as such became a bit of an introvert. I do work out and have began writing and even singing songs. Most recently joining a group to get together an play music - we finally get together in a week and a half, lol
I don't find i am depressed but disappointed in my past inactions and actions which brought me to this point, but generally I've been quite well. 90% of the time I'm doing good and pushing my carer forward. The finances worry me, not to mention our aging/ailing dog which i often spend time with as I'm the one who cares for him primarily. In retrospect our finances were no doubt a relationship stressor.
As for inheritance she's fully respectful that it is, or will be once settled be for me. although it would solve many debt woes, but not all. There has been a minimal ($2k) received which will go towards some immediate debt needs, but the larger inheritance of the estate will reside with me
she's really not contesting anything financially and is accepting of her part in it all and admitted she spends far more than i do, always has. it never bothered me so long as it made her happy
