Everything that makes us grow is due to adversity I think.
Think about how you learned anything.
You can't learn to ride a bike until you fall off right?
This thing that hs happened to all of us is a blessed tragedy.
Couldn't have said it any better. Some of what we face is directly tied to this crisis, some of it indirectly, but SO much of what has happened indeed HAD to happen in order to learn and grow.
What we don't learn, we will be face again until we do.
Rough day...did it to myself actually. Hiking with four kids turned into a very torturous experience. My wife joined us...and it turned into what I felt was a texting session with her BF (she felt it wasn't that bad and I should have asked her to stop). Add to that...the boys didn't want to hike....ran down a different trail than the one we were hiking. So I had to gather them up and make them catch up. This wasn't fun because on of the boys (11) basically threw a hussy fit as we tried to catch up to the girls and whined non-stop as we hiked up. Then on the way down continually messed with his sister.....then I lost it.
tomorrow is another day....definitely a lesson learned.
LFW - We all loose it once in a while....don't forget that we are under tremendous pressure these days....don't beat yourself up over it...as you said...tomorrow is another day

Interesting day...Started out by discussing my assets spreadsheet, custody arrangement, etc...boy am I screwed...LOL...I will figure the money thing out, but it will be interesting. Then I told my wife that I officially do not want her BF on my property and I will have him arrested for trespassing. That started quite the tirade....so my thinking is that my house had become their quick hideaway spot.
I was talking with the BF's wife....she is not playing around or DB'ing. She is actually not going to even try to save the marriage...instead she is going to rip him in court. So I reminded her of their cell phone bill from last month and to get copies (my wife and BF spent over 1100 minutes talking in basically secret). So she made a copy and decided to get some older bills for reference. Guess what...surprise....they have been talking on the phone since June and the hours talked have been very high since July. I didn't even know about him as a friend to the end of August.....so things have been going on much longer than we were being told.
The more we open our eyes....the more the truth reveals itself.
On the flip side..worked all day and now planning a night out....SWEET!
Yes...I am officially done DB'ing...but I will still hang around. I like you all TOOOOOO much.
If it makes you feel better to say that you're done, then you're done.
But I am going to suggest that, that day has not quite happened yet. And when it does come around, maybe I should say 'if', you'll have one of the hardest choices you'll ever make.
I'm pretty sure you can stick around, and I hope that you do. Go

I stopped for dinner...but I realized I misspoke. I am done with the marriage....it is that time. I will continue to improve myself and stick to the DB basics though. I have learned to much and grown so much more that it would be a waste to stop now.
