Thanks GH, It's good to hear some positive feedback. I think I'm doing OK. Doing better.

I'll keep doing what I'm doing, which really is about me learning to detach and have my own life. It's finally starting to feel like it's sinking in.

I know I could backslide easily, but I'm feeling stronger. I setting a goal of going for a week of detachment. I'm not jealous, much. I'm not snooping and not tempted to, much, I'm not talking about M/R and really not tempted to just now.

But, because I value the advice I get here, and because I want to keep a dialoge going, here is a question for everyone: Money is an issue at home. My wife has spent what is a large amount of money in the last week at the local grocery, but I don't see any food in the fridge. I don't want to ask her about it, because that can be controlling and like snooping, but I don't want her to spend money we don't have. Do I talk to her about it? How? My feeling is that we aren't going to be homeless; the kids will be fed, so I should let it go. But I'm enjoying managing the finances again and I would like to know what was bought. Thoughts?

By the way, I know I misspelled Buddhist in my last post. I've always messed that word up, and I don't always spell check before posting.
