I am very lucky that God has blessed me with a wonderful family and great friends. My H's family is very supportive of me also. I know that there are some people who are going through this without a lot of support and that has to be very difficult. People on the various boards are also great!!
I do have a job and am working on some interesting projects. I work in the finance area. I can usually keep focused at work, but of course, there are some tough hours. Before all of this started with H, my life was out of balance. Now however, I have an appropriate life/work balance. I'm working out again and have lost the excess weight that I put on after the marriage. YEH!!
Thank you for the book recommendation. I'll pick it up this weekend, and read it while cycling a the health club.
Thanks again Jenny for your support. I know that hearing about success stories like yours and being able to communicate and ask questions on the path you have taken, is of tremendous benefit to all of us trying to work on our marriages.
