I have noticed that myself, I am much more keenly aware of couples and can tell if they are having problems a mile away or might have in the future.. It makes me feel bad that I got into this position and wasn't able to lead us out of it at the time but I was naive and didn't have the knowledge. Maybe I will get the opportunity before it's too late. There is a part of me that really wants to put my new R skills to use.
Yes, you should have hope! Are you 100% convinced your W is done? I know the D proceedings are under way but........ Do you think having sex with her again will re-kindle some of those feelings she has for you? I wouldn't be surprised if she initiates some conversation.
Everyone of us has positive things going on in our lives but we put so much focus on our W's that we lose sight of it. Yes, things could be much worse we are blessed in so many ways. Everyone has ups and downs in life, this is just a blip on the radar.
Grinding has become easier outside of not having physical contact with a woman I really am good. I have no problems being by myself and doing things alone. Going to that New Years Eve party with my D and hanging around people I didn't know was really out of my comfort zone. I new that going into the situation but forced myself to stay vs dropping her off and going back to pick her up. No hot, single ladies though so that aspect was a little dissapointing.
