Thanks Debra! It has been a wonderful 15 months since I met my fiance and we're starting to make plans for a June 10th wedding--at least that is what we are striving for if we can get it all to work out. Not been here much lately - so much going on...
Been trying to help my brother--whose wife walked away from their marriage labor day weekend--first couple of weeks he was DBing without even knowing what the heck DBing was--I was very proud of him -- but now he is going through the "missing her" stages and not being able to sleep, losing weight, etc. (amazing how seeing someone close go through it tugs at your own emotional heart strings). I do know what the majority of their problems were-- lack of communication once the kids came along--and no "couple" time...then one thing after another and they kept getting further and further apart. I do think though it is a shame that his W wants nothing to do with therapy--"it is all him", "he needs to change", etc etc. We recently found out what prescription meds she is on for varous things (fibromalagia, migraines to name a few)--but she has been taking vicodin, ultram, flexeril, prozac and a few others that i cannot recall for 3 years...so I am beginning to think she is addicted to prescription meds and that it is a huge cause for many issues...but she either has no clue about this or doesn't want to have a clue. Anyway, been trying to help him as much as possible.. ..makes it hard to plan a wedding though with all that going on!
Got to see my ex-H today for a brief exchange of money, football tickets, baseball tickets--he was actually helping me out with getting seats together for my brother to take both sons to this friday's giants game...but I got to meet his girlfriend of 6 months--and I really like her and do believe she is well suited for him--very nice gal and she and I seemed to hit if off well to begin with... amazing the full circle that we've come!
Well off to bed I go!! Hope everyone is doing well!
