I was on the Dr.Phil website and although I feel that he is so anti-divorce if you have kids, I was pleasantly surprised by what he wrote!

If you are feeling like you need a "things to do" list to help you get through it, I SURE DO DAILY, this might help : )

Wow - I noticed two things from this:

1. Phil isn't a TOTAL idiot

2. I'm moving along in the right direction, at least according to him

Thanks for posting this

Thanks for the post. I am happy to see some practical advice for those of us who have accepted where we are and need to find a way to make a go of our new lives.

good points.

Find your authentic self
Although you may no longer be one half of a couple, you are still 100 percent the person who you are. Find that person again.

Get out of denial
Ask yourself: Do you really want this marriage, or are you hanging onto it out of fear? If being alone is a scarier thought than staying in a broken marriage, you're letting fear make your decisions. Are you mourning the loss of what your marriage was, or what you thought marriage would be?

is that like Pink Floyd? Was it Love, or the Idea of Being in Love?

I used this to help me get through the initial hard time going through my separation/divorce. I think every little bit of advice can be good.

Dr Phil might know his stuff but he busted my flashlight. By which I mean I realize now how little me and my wife have together and may have ever had. I realize I might wind up divorced with nothing more than some lessons, insight, and a cat. I spent a good portion of my morning looking at his website realizing how little me and my wife know about each other and how little we fulfill each other.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
