Can I Save My Marriage Alone?

[LB55]

I like writing in my journal too. It’s a good release. I also look back on things and see how I’ve changed in this process. It’s kind of astounding to see what I was writing 6 months ago.

I journal about positive and negative stuff. It’s good to get my thoughts out and on paper, even if I’m just venting. For a while I had to do it before bed or I couldn’t sleep. It was rough for me at first.

Glad to see you sent a card. Keep the communications about business and your daughter. He may or may not decide to initiate some talks. Just listen. Google non defensive listening. I found it very helpful. Whatever he says they are his feelings. You don’t have to agree with his feelings to hear him out.

Glad to see you getting out and doing things. It really does help. Finding some friends that aren’t in n the middle is key, like AS said. I revived a couple of friendships via the book of face and we’ve gotten lots closer due to all this. They did casually know my W, but they’ve basically just listened and told me they would’ve given her the finger long ago. They are good people to vent to. Keep up the good fight! You win either way.
