I just wanted to also state some of the things that I have done since the separation and D.
I have GAL and reconnected with one of the hobbies/recreation items that I did before the M: motorcycling. Although I had a nasty wreck last year, I have no intention of giving this up and am doing all I can to be more careful and responsible with it in the future.
I also joined a community band for part of the summer and will join up with them again this year.
I continued seeing a C myself for quite a while to help keep my head on straight during the whole breakup too.
