Hmm, okay...that's simple enough. Thanks Jim.


I'm doing well so far this week working through my daily checklist of things I need/want to do. Morning meditation, gym, eating healthy, putting real effort into work, working on me in the afternoons, etc, etc. I even turned down a beer last night, it was a terrible thing to see wasted, but I can wait until later in the week. Discipline and self-control are part of my journey.


Going to set up an appointment with my attorney this week, I'm at the point where I just want to get this over with. Dragging it out isn't going to make her want to come back and it isn't going to help me mentally, physically, or otherwise. So let's just get it over with. Hopefully she is sincere with her words and doesn't want to screw me over. I am thinking more and more of keeping the house -- the dog deserves to have a yard and I will probably transfer to a new duty station in the next year anyways.

Anyone have thoughts on the potential emotional baggage that may carry over by continuing to live in the same house you bought with your ex?
