She showed you she liked the changes that day at the pool.

Just like she showed you how concerned she is for the kids by getting the books.

Her ACTIONS are what speaks here. Don't look for the words.

i just want her.



Yeah. I know.


This is the place to get it out, so you did well.


It would be a good time to get out and do something that put you in a real positive state of mind. Self care is required in these situations.


Work the plan.


Blessings,

Bill

what's really nice is that i now can recognize whether something is going to help me accomplish my goal or not accomplish my goal. I know i slipped a little yesterday, but it's something that i needed to do....can't explain it.

then i can come here and vent and talk and cry and do all the things i want to do around/to her....without her being her.

and when i'm near her.....i'm the cool confident guy that is attractice to her.....

Act As If....

I NEED her to verbally acknowledge she likes the changes


...

Neil,

Man up, these changes are for you not her, you are a better person for them anyway. You don't need her validation for good changes, in fact I think your more likely to slip back into the old you if you require her validation...so go into her purse and get your nuts back.

I understand what you are saying...

Hear what I am saying as well...

She fell in love with a man, not a boy.

If she is anything like my W was then she does.....sorry buddy....my W even used pretty much the same words.

They are back now....which I find out sometimes painfully when my 3 yr olds climb all over me

Neil- wow- lots of changes and i think all good. its normal to backslide a bit- part of the process. you stopped when you knew there was no cheese.

remember to still treat her like a casual friend right now- get your head out of the part that is desparate for her to come home-just stay on your casual friend plan that got you to major progress.

look at how far you have come- please look at the baby steps.

i agree with TD, Bill and JTB....

but since im a girl (((Neil))) \:\)

Guys, I'm curious...... In what part of the purse does a lady carry those things? I love top end designer handbags, they all have a cell phone pocket but nothing for nuts…..

Neil, should I hit you back with the 2x4? You wacked me on Monday. Now it's my turn.

You have been doing wonderfully well. I understand your reaction to seeing the Divorce books. I cringe inside everytime my H brings up the word.

Act as if the D word doesn't exist. It sounds like she is just trying to help the kids understand what mommy and daddy are experiencing right now. There are books for everything.

Keep your head up and don't loose sight of your dignity. You are doing good things.


Most of us are about as happy as we make up our minds to be.

My W has a handful of Coach bags, I honestly think she was extra sneaky and split them up and put them in separate bags so it would be harder to get them back. Normally they are kept deep in the purse amongst all the make-up, coins, pens, etc....lol
