I scoured this forum and read stories of many people to get some hope and inspiration, and that the bleeding would not go on forever. I am glad that my sitch was able to help you with that as well. I am by no means out of the woods for myself yet, still working on things, but I know that I am going to be okay without my W. Heck, I am going to more than okay.
Get some easy wins under your belt - dress well, clean up, groom better, and if you can afford to upgrade your wardrobe a little bit, that helps.
GAL doesn't have to cost tons of $$$$. 25yrsmlc always talks about how she GAL'd on pennies and did so many things. It can be done. But, take small measured steps.
Right now your goal to get our own place is an awesome one. Draw up a timeline and see plan on how you're saving for it and when you will start looking actively for a place. Plan it all out and then execute.
Yeah, get our diet and exercise in order. Make yourself only a fool would leave.
Joseph9 has talked about how he's letting his anger go in a slow burn - becoming jacked and hella attractive and inviting ladies in his life that deserve his time. That is what I am going for too - my W is going to regret that she didn't give me a second chance. Use the anger and pain and hurt productively.
Btw, read Joseph9 and Benito's threads. Both way out DB'd me and were my support system too. A lot of gems hidden in their threads. Dig it up.
