Thank you all for your comments of encouragement. It is very helpful. Anita, any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Jessi, I will keep going and I’m going to get an audible account set up and listen to some of the authors you suggest when I run. Ninja, I will continue to work on finding happiness outside of my wife. I love the Daddy dates idea and will try it when she is away this weekend. I agree about the “building back confidence”. My wife has even told me she wants to see me for who I am, not a sad and depressed individual. For a while (10 days) I was doing ok and then it all sort of unravelled…. All of your positive comments have given me a boost to continue though. I will continue to take it day by day and see what happens, focusing on improving my self and becoming happy for me and not just for my wife. I have my second counselling session tomorrow and I am looking forward to it. Ninja, I’m so sorry for your pain too. It’s so hard but I know we are both doing the right things and I do have “hope” that things will work out. I’ll write back. You have a peaceful night too.
