So, tomorrow I will be moving out of the apartment my W and I once shared (she moved out in early July). It's a nice place in a nice neighborhood, but on my own, it would be tough to afford.

When my whole situation came to light http://www.dailystrength.org/groups/cheatersanonymous/discussions/messages/20693287).) I had a few really good conversations with a close friend from college. He's also become a good friend of my W's, and he talked to her, too. His basic thought: "Dude, you f'd up, but you two can get past this. I'm rooting for you both."

He happened to be looking to move as well, so we decided to share a 2-bedroom place. As someone who has been there for both my W and I, it feels comforting having him around. And I'd much rather live with someone (even if it's a friend) than be totally alone. I like conversation and companionship.

So, I'm hoping this move brings me a renewed energy. My home will no longer be filled with memories my W and I shared...and me being alone to realize I tainted all of them. This new place, this new living arrangement, will be a fresh start of sorts for me. Or at least I'm hoping that's the case. Still working on R with my wife, but I'm also trying to be excited (best as I can) for this new phase in life.
