Thank you for your support guys. The smooches were especially welcome, Lis!

LiN here's your pen portrait. You wrote it, bud!
'Who I am:
Thoughtful, caring father. Tall and thin. Blonde hair blue eyes. Good job and stable. I’m a good cook, do the laundry, love to take care of the kids, and I clean. I’m not a control freak, have any weird habits, drink only socially and in moderation, and don’t smoke.

I love culture, movies, theater, literature, politics, learning, and the outdoors, although I’m not a sportsman. I don’t feel the need to spend every Sunday in front of the TV watching sports. In fact, I’d just as soon leave the TV off most of the time.'

All I was saying was that we sound very similar (except I may be a bit of a control freak...)

With the NC I'm just playing it by ear and I'll see how things pan out over the next few weeks. Whilst I still feel sad, angry all the normal stuff, I do feel relief too, much like I did when she first went. I know I'll get through this and come out the other side a stronger, better person, capable of building a better R with someone who I love and who loves me in the future. Wish I wasn't in this sitch but I am so I have to make the most of things.

Hope you all have good days.
