Had a great weekend, saw some friends for the first time in a long time. I really neglected male friendships and I can see how regardless of my M I need that support network in my life. W and I still talk pleasantly enough but not about our M.
Took care of some stuff around the house without asking, just did it, which felt good. Last night rather than watch TV with W I went and did some exercise and hobbies for about 90min. She ended up saying “Good night” when she went to bed which hasn’t been said in awhile (usually she just disappears). Could be nothing of course.
Still feels like everything is in limbo, like if I make one step in the wrong direction things will end. I still question whether I should be DBing when the BD hasn’t happened yet. Maybe I’m being too distant and cautious, and she will read that as me being checked out. Really tough.
DR arrives today. Looking forward to reading
You've said various of the text in bold several times, which has me wondering, what do you think DBing is?
Read Divorce Remedy. The advice absolutely applies to spouses who haven't had a bomb dropped on them yet. In fact, the sooner you implement the advice, the better off you are. But do read the actual book. People who read only the forum sometimes get weird ideas about what the Michele Weiner-Davis actually recommends.
