@Jay2023, I did kind of need your help as a fellow male what do you think about the above?

I’m still in the doghouse with the wifey to be. I guess calling a woman controlling in anger is a bigger violation than I thought! I’m trying not to counteract this with my usual bad habits.

I swear I’ll be glad when this wedding is over and it’s just the two of us!

I think you have come a long way even though I agree you’re not out of the woods yet. But the great thing is you’re exhibiting a lot of patience,you recognise you will not feel instantly better and there’s no point in retrieving what you can’t have, and maybe even really starting to believe you deserve better than that finally.

Exercise is great for when low moods kick in or you’re missing the physical aspect of a relationship. Really helped me with the sexual frustration with ‘B’.

There are those who do casual or ONS but I don’t recommend that if deep within, you seek a real commitment. It will just hamper your recovery and distract you from the work you need to do to get there.

Right bro, better concoct a plan to make ground on smoothing things over. Any tips would be much appreciated!
