Hey....I've had a couple of pretty decent days. FWW did'nt feel good yesterday and stayed home from work....I did'nt truly know what to expect.
I thought that maybe she was going to run again and move out? But she did some work around here and prepared supper etc.
Is it common to just kinda feel numb about what to expect?
Right now, I know what I wanted from the beginning/the last 2 years...but I'm sort of losing my faith. I guess, again "one day at a time" is perhaps the way to be.

If you don't have any expectations, at least you are never disappointed. Seriously, you really can't know what to expect and one day at a time is pretty much the norm. Just be prepared as best you can for whatever comes and remain steadfast and consistent Try to always be tustworthy, loyal, helpful, frien.... No - wait a minute - that's a boy scout. Never mind. Okay just be steadfast and consistent and as positive as you can.

I will say I noticed your use of the word "numb". That is kind of a red flag for me. I only say that because a lot of people - including me - seem to have gone through a period of numbness. While that is helpful in protecting your feelings, it can lead quickly to indifference which is not such a good thing. If you truly do start to feel numb to all of this, you should get help for that because you will be unhappy most of the time. Not a big boost for Plan A.

Woman are strange. Who was it who said "you can't live with 'em and you can't kill 'em"? Working around the house is probably a good thing for her. I think women find housework therapeutic somehow. Yeechh!

If WW was feeling sick, why didn't you make supper? Hmmm?

Thanks for the advice...as for making supper she had started it prior to me leaving work....it was ready when I stepped in the door. Kind of cool....for a guy that's usually home at least 2 hrs. ahead of his wife most the time. I did clean up the kitchen!!!
