Wow, I haven't initiated a post in a long time... things have been that quiet, I guess. One of the beauties of Plan B - no drama!

Anyhow, I've got an initial consultation with an attorney tomorrow - just starting to feel things out.

Beyond that, my Plan B has been pristine for nearly 3 weeks now. I figure, that's my best stance for now... I might as well apply my own "advice" to others to my own situation, right? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I also realize that 3 weeks isn't all that long. (It's been about 5-6 since I last saw her.)

So far, WW has been respecting my NC request. I haven't much info on how things are going on that side of the fence, but my guess would be fairly stressful... I've redirected my direct deposit to my own account now, and so she's living off her rather smallish income, in a rather expensive apartment. This is something she mentioned to IC/MC - that she might have to move! Yet she's been so incredibly adament from the start that she does not want to move as to "send me the wrong message"... so my "letting go" and in essence letting her do whatever the heck she wants with her limited income... That's got to start settling in some reality - that I'm not playing the game any more. I'm done with the games, the lies, etc.

I reflect on how I moved into this current stance... whether I LB'ed by sounding so "Dobsonish"... whether revealing my "source" of my information was a good idea or not... but for the most part, I'm detaching quite well lately... the Prozac has been a Godsend. I regret not starting it sooner, that's for sure.

I'm getting out and having some fun... no worries!

Hi JR,

I had been wondering how you were doing.

I've got an initial consultation with an attorney tomorrow - just starting to feel things out.

Good luck. It will probably bring up some emotions but nothing that you can't handle I'm sure.

haven't initiated a post in a long time... things have been that quiet, I guess. One of the beauties of Plan B - no drama!

No drama would be nice. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> Quiet is good for the soul.

I'm getting out and having some fun... no worries!

Like the song says "Don't worry, be happy" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Sounds like you are doing well. Do you find that when you go out that you can relax and really have fun and not be thinking of WS all the time?
I have found that I am truly having fun. (I need that !!!!) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Good to hear from you,

D.

JR,

Sounds like you are strong enough to move ahead. It has been a long year but you still are able to keep your head above water.

Hailing over here from the Pleasanton area. Still stuck at work...... Hope you and RH have fun..... Jeffers came out and visited with RH last year. JL is in the area also. PI & I have both met RH. Rapunzel is down my neck of the woods. There may be more of us lurking....who knows ;)Guess we have quite a continency out in the Bay Area.

take care,
L.
