I hope your dad gets through his procedure okay. Often times, the anticipation is worse than the actual procedure itself.
Sorry to hear about your w’s secret ski trip with her sugar daddy. Ironically my H is going on a ski trip as well. He says with his buddy. Doesn’t matter at this point. He does what he wants...always has.
Re: dropping the rope and expectations. Yep. That’s number one on the list. Expectations just set us up for more hurt. It doesn’t have to include looking for a replacement right away, though. It is more about figuring out who you are outside of the marriage and taking time to heal. It takes time and it can be very tempting to start dating and distract yourself from feeling the loss of your marriage. Believe me, it has crossed my mind more that a few times that it would make things a heck of a lot easier. But generally when you have the choice between doing something as important as this the easy way or the hard way... the hard way is usually the best way. I’m pretty sure I will know when I am ready for dating. Right now I’m just focusing on my kids and working on some of my GAL goals. Anyway...we are all different. You should do what is best for you.
