Stuck in limbo III

[LH19]

Have many on these forums ever felt like pulling the plug on their own situation?

Yep. My guess is every single person here at one point or another felt like pulling the plug.

I dunno, I'm 99 percent sure W is grappling with a MLC (and supposedly you can't rush those) but sometimes I feel like I'm wasting away the part of my life that misses female companionship.

Come on bro. I spent 10 months during Covid w/o female companionship and I didn't shrivel up and die.

To be sure, W and I still live together, still talk every day (though not what I would necessarily call substantially), still sleep together.

Ok. I did this for a two and a half years and am still alive.

But we haven't done anything that could be called a date in ages. Not that I'm bringing that subject up. Am I supposed to wait around forever?

No. I would start to think about a drop dead date.

She also inhales her phone every night from like 9-11 under the guise of "schoolwork." Yeah there's some computer work in that category that's legitimate, but there's also ample time and opportunity to be texting a dude.

I am sure that is what she is doing. If you want and need proof there are ways to find out.

I stopped outwardly caring a while back, but again the amount of potential cake-eating without sunlight at the end of the tunnel gives me pause.

Pause for what?

It's not that I haven't been trying to keep up with GAL, just sort of questioning how long one trudges on. To be clear, I haven't brought up any relationship discussions or fallen off the train of DB techniques.

Excellent!

Things aren't bad in the house aside from being a little "boring" if you don't count the whims of three rambunctious boys.

You could have it a lot worse. Have you read about Peter B's wife?

LH, maybe I should get myself into an intoxicating EA like you had to maybe match whatever W had or has going on.

Well Doug if you read what I wrote it was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. It's hard to want to hold my ex accountable for her actions when my side of the road isn't clean.

You need to decide if you are in or you are out right now. Do you want to be able to tell your kids one day that you did everything you could to keep your family together?
