A Happy Halloween
Well, Halloween is over by a few minutes now. I just put a couple more logs on the fire, and the wife is sitting on the Sofa in my flannel shirt watching a chick flick. It is a good end to a good day, and gives me hope for the future. I know now that I am not trapped. I am in my marriage because I want to be here, and should that change, and the hurt be permanent, I can move on and make myself happy. Thanks to my friends here for showing me that. I am a strong man, a devoted husband, and a hard worker. I have given my wife a beautiful home, and a reasonably good life. This is not my fault. The wife wanted to go buy some fabric today for a quilt she is making. I decided to ride along as she promised me dinner, and agreed to go to whatever store I wanted. Big mistake for her :) I went to the Toyota store :D My dad recently was in a bad accident and totaled his Ford Ranger. I have a Silverado that is the same year and same mileage, so I figured I would sell it to him on the cheap (he didn't want a car payment) and get myself something new. Man, those new Tundras are nice... Money doesn't buy happiness, but maybe it is time that I do something for myself.

I\'m SO glad you are feeling better about things. I\'m glad your W is trying to make this better for you and that you had a good day and got yourself something nice too. I hope your days get better and better. You are right. You are not trapped... you get to dictate your life and where it goes. I\'m glad you are seeing your positive attributes and are loving yourself. Your W will respond to that and treat you with the same respect you give yourself. All the best!
Good for you....got an 11-page letter from my H on Saturday...wow....he was honest, but I\'m taking it all in....now, can I forgive him????
hehe - nothing says lovin like a new set of wheels in the driveway.
