Have you READ DB or DR YET?

It sounds like you STILL rely on others to give you the answers rather than you doing the work yourself.

Hi Mr. Bond,

Happy 4th to you and everyone else here on the DB forum. The only person I am relying on today is my S12 to make me smile, who I have for the week. He says "he loves 'Merica", which I can't get out of my head now. I hope to spend some time with him at the pool (and get 'wet'), and throw the ball around with him.

Seriously, yes I've read DR, and I keep going back over it. I believe my W is coming out of her MLC and is starting to reach out to me. I initiate no contact with her, and I do nothing that is seen as pursuing her. I am excited to see what this day will bring.

Yeah fair enough it's a sign of affection that should be welcomed. Of course you know enough to play it friendly but cool yourself. All situations are different it was just something that jumped at me.

Here is my bad weekend update. I have been having a rough time my self-employed business lately. So on July 4th, our family cell phones were turned off, which is a bill I am responsible for. Of course, the W discovers this.

So on Sunday night I snooped on W's email account. And on Sunday she gets her first batch of matches from a 50 + year old dating site. She’s back on the web dating scene. I’m so disappointed.

Why did you snoop? It sounds from your post that the cells being d/c and your snooping were related.

What gives?

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.

Hi labug, I was trying to draw a connection between past financial troubles which drove W crazy, and my current inability to pay the cell phone bill perhaps be one of the reasons for her to join another dating website.

I thought my W was past being on dating sites, when she told me a few weeks ago that she quit her previous membership on a big dating site. Which I verified (President Reagan said "trust but verify"), and so I thought our r was going in a better direction. I snooped last night again just to verify she was staying away from the dating sites, to my disappointment.

So I now know what I am up against. It's getting harder to face these ups and downs of my separated W. I know detach, detach, detach and move on with Getting a Life.

Keep the focus on you. Snooping will get you nothing but pain. If you are working on you,you won't be thinking about all of her ups and downs. You want to right your boat, not have it sloshing around based onwhatshe has or hasn't done.

Hi Kat, of course you are right. Your words are like valium to my soul - (grin).

Kat, no forgiveness necessary.

My best friend's father passed away, and the funeral is later today. For some reason my W is coming. My best friend has a sharp tongue, and is not likely to keep quiet today. I am having a tough time trying to think peaceful, patient thoughts. Instead, I am thinking life is too short to not be back together, and why is W horsing around with her lifestyle choices? But PMA, patience and a restrained tongue, those are my objectives for today.
