Going on trips after BD is common. Back when I was in that position I remember feeling out-of-control, anxious, and stewing upon it. I sent an upset text, which didn't help matters, lol. I remember another poster here went further and greeted their wife's homecoming with accusations, which REALLY didn't help.
Exactly. I keep reminding myself not to do something stupid, but stupid things keep popping in my head! Sometimes I'm good at redirecting my focus, and other times (like today) it is much more difficult.

Yeah, today I loaded the boys up and headed down to the beach. Waves were up which was cool to check out. Got some good clam chowder and fish n chips. Ice cream. It was fun and it definitely helped. I'm also looking to get away once she is back and just getting a rental down by the ocean for a few days. It's my happy place.
