And still struggling

[Jim1234]

Jim, I admire how you continue to improve your communication with your wife even in the face of divorce.

That's too bad about the woman you were dating but hopefully when the time is write you'll re-connect with her or meet someone else. It's good that you feel open to meeting new people and getting out on dates. It must be a strange feeling after being married for so many years!

Thanks, Nicole. After reading Artista, and AS, maybe I'm not improving my communication as much as I thought!

As far as dating, it helps if you just think of them as just.. . dates. Nothing more than that. In some ways it's easier than before I was married, in some ways harder. But yes, it can be strange, in a number of ways.
