Perhaps you could find a botanic garden or similar spot to escape the Ruhrpott. There are a bunch of nice excursions you can do there, such as Muenster and Monschau.
I am glad that you have the move behind you at least, and that you are still running. One point of sanity in a gray world...
What did you think of Denmark? I had wild times there when in college.
I think you might find it good to share your ups and downs here, where people do care and will respond.
Luke, Are you here? I leave again soon...we must connect in the alternate universe.
SORRY for the hijack

Yes, back out your way Nov. 10, MLC. Sorry for the hijack also.
Lou, if you like Shakespearean type dialog and classical music, and want to practice your German, there is an outstanding Tatort episode on YouTube, called Im Schmerz Geboren, one of the best pieces from Germany I've seen in a while.
I am on the road again for the next month, moving someplace new every week, including EE (Philadelphia)! I'll try to check in when Wifi is available.
In the meanwhile, a good autumn to you, and please let us know how you are doing. What did you think of Denmark finally?
thanks for staying in touch.. I really value that..alone sure isn't working for me..
glad you are getting to London.
Denmark was cold, wet, grey and people were trying to set me up so stressful.. I am not in that place at all.I will check out the Tatort it will be an excellent distraction.
My H is still distant and moving closer has not helped.. all I have done is lose a great job, great friends and a wonderful area..
The running saves me.. at least for the hour I do.it 5 times a week... went under the 60 minutes for 10k this week so improving..
I don't see any good solutions..he is moving closer to the OW.. into the same building.. The house is sold..maybe there is nothing here for me except my job.. which is necessary so I am stuck.. I can not seem to move on.. I don't want to for one thing..that much I know..I don't want to live alone, I hate living just for myself..
Lou - sorry to be out of contact so much. How are you?
Good on you for the sub 60 10k.
Are you getting out and seeing and doing new things? There is a well known dance company in Wuppertal if you are into that. There is also the best Tatort I've seen recently on YouTube now - see Im Schmerz Geboren.
Are you going to any meetups? If not, please do. That has been a life-saver for me, and opened new connections.
Forget your husband if you can. Go have fun, hang out. There are other good people in this world.
Hi Luke good advice to forget him.. will look into the dance company Wuppertal is close. you really know this area.. my problem is my crummy German. Hard to meet people when you scare them when you open your mouth.. you sound like you are in a good place though the conversation will be hard.. My daughter is London so heading there February. I think you have done an amazing job of hanging in there all these years.. I am done after 1 year really.. his level of unkindness is unbelievable. ? But you experienced something similar just for longer.. the meetups are pretty techie.. and a long way away. ? But I should make the effort.. thanks for the support Luke
