High everyone! Sorry if you don’t recognize my handle but I forgot my username and had to change it. I used to known as weakmale then purple tang. Anyway, I wanted to give you an update to my situation and let everyone know I’m doing fine. <p>When I first came to this website I was having a hard time coming to grips that my marriage was coming to an end, then things started to change. I didn’t have the stamina that many of you have so I gave up after 5 months of trying and I haven’t been happier since. After I let go my life has completely changed. It was slow at first but recently I’ve met lots of interesting people. <p>In the beginning it was hard. My confidence and self-esteem was shattered and I wasn’t sure if I’d every be able to meet someone new. But now I find myself talking to beautiful women with emotional depth. I once thought these women would want nothing to do with me but to my surprise they have been very receptive. This came to a complete surprise to me and given me a much needed ego boost. It feels great! Don’t worry I’m not going to let this recent build of confidence interfere with my second chance at happiness. <p>But the most interesting thing is my BS now wants back in. I do respect the institution of marriage so I am considering it but I’m not sure if that will make me truly happy. If you’re wondering what lifted the fog for her it was I pushing for divorce procedures. But I don’t recommend doing this unless it’s what you want. If you have the strength, continue to work at it and hopefully your marriage won’t have to end.<p>Thanks for all the support everyone has given me and I’ll visit this site from time to time and try to give guidance when I can.<p>Peace out!

Ever heard that saying, "You always want what you can't have??" <p>Your W is more than likely worried that since you aren't 'focused' on her any longer and she see's signs of you 'moving on,' well... You always want what you can't have. <p>Not saying to try again w/her - but be careful - some people 'get' it again, and then once they get it again or ever, they lose interest. Its like an obstacle they challenge themselves to conquer - thinking it'll make them happy - then once they obtain it and overcome it - they find it doesn't do the trick. <p>It's like, well WHEN I get that house, THEN I'll be happy, or WHEN I get that car, THEN I'll be happy, blah, blah, blah.<p>Examine her personality, and your situation FIRST. Ask yourself, is she THAT kind of person? Is that what she's displayed in the time you've spent w/her?? Only you know her best. <p>Take care and be VERY careful or you may be setting yourself up for another 'episode!'<p>Just my opinion... <p>Jordan
