hi all! hope everyone is having a great summer start, at least as great as we can me it for ourselves! wink

@funbun - Thanks a lot for your comment! this was not my BD party, but a friends. It is being hard to speak to female equals in Seville. All friend groups are very close and many of them know me already as this is not a very big city. TBH, I dont really need it but it is a boost in moral and confidence.

@BenB - Thanks for tuning in! I have spent the last few days reading the golden nuggets compiled by AS and I have started thinking that any woman would be lucky to have me. I take care of myself physically, I have a great career and good values and I care about others. I am emotionally still in a weak spot and you are right I might be selling the idea that I am Mr plan B but believe me I am not engaging in any more R talks until her journey is complete and she can see I was also unhappy and I am no monster who harms the people around him.

@Gekko - Same as with active listening, empathy and validation; I am practicing boundaries with family, friends, W and children. I try to be loving and strong at the same time, I feel like I am really improving myself and the people who are in touch with me. I have been focusing on improving S6 swimming abilities. Having lived in the UK and Germany he is now a late swimmer for the spanish standards and I am helping him regain confidence and improving the way he floats and uses his arms. I will be hitting the piano hard soon, now the job ML certification is done so I have more time for other GAL activities.

I remember reading in your thread you have filtered many good self improvement videos and resources after going through a lot of BS. would you kindly share the best ones with me Gekko? Thanks a lot. with that I am going to move to a new post.
