Hi gang.
Another rainy Thursday here.
My wife got good news from the surgeon as her operation site is healed nicely and the drain was removed.
I went back to work and my wife had my daughter drive her to the grocery store. She needs to practice driving on the permit as her driving test will be in a few months. It's been a long week.
Been getting a head start on cutting firewood for winter already.

Leshar - I had a drinking dream I was swilling deinks and worried my current partner would see.
I don't feel like drinking, but the feelings of shame in the dream made me sad. But also relieved I don't have to live that life.
Every sober day is a choice.

Hi all,
Mags, I hope you will feel better soon.
Suze, don't be too disheartened. It's only natural to have days of doubting after the enormous changes you've gone through in a short time.
Bob, that's good news about your wife.
Lulu,mom so pleased that you are staying the course.
Well, I lost it this evening with my friend. We had dinner before going to a play. She brought up how she was going to spend time with her lover this weekend. I told her I didn't want to hear about it. It was tense. She pressed me, and I got a bit irritable, but managed to keep my cool. The play was good.
Then on the way to our cars, she brought up the affair again, and I just snapped "don't talk about it anymore!", then said I had to go, and rushed off to my car without saying goodbye. I've never behaved like this with her.
I wrote a short email of apology when I got home, but reiterated that I will not be drawn on that matter and for her to respect this. It's horrible, I hate that she's doing this. I see no point in even meeting with her any more. She is so selling herself short. She can rationalize all she wants, but not to me. I've had it.
I'm super irritable, I hate it. I think having no focus atm doesn't help. And I hate drinkers. Noisy drinkers at play, you can drink in this theatre, so rude imo.

Lesh- is your friend trying to relive her youth- and attempting to do 'the naughty girl' act/ Get a reaction from you because she can push boundaries- the bad girl, the rebel? Trying too hard?

Evening , so warm here! I'm not used to it and guess what, the asthma doesn't like it either!
Leigh, yes, allergies and hay fever aggravate the asthma.
Bob, pleased your wife got out for a while with your daughter.
And I can't agree with you more Dee, I hope it's a better week for everyone too!

Hi all,
PJ, I think my friend is very low in self esteem. Her partner of 20 plus years is a difficult man, an alcoholic. He often belittles her. She is a low earning artist, and I think has stayed with him, essentially because she fears how she would thrive alone. They are not well off, but he does have a steady income from a small business.
The guy she is seeing is a musician, also in a 20 plus year relationship with a woman who has a good government job, with good benefits and I imagine he's loathe to leave this situation, even though he tells my friend that, like her, he is craving physical intimacy.
I don't know why I went off on her, my outburst surprised me and worries me.
I'm a kind person and I have supported my friend in the 9 years I've known her, through various upsets with her partner. I was very weary of it a few years ago, she was relying on me too much. Thankfully, she did begin to see a therapist, which took some pressure off me.
I don't know why I am so dogmatic about this affair. I told her the guy was a "jerk", that he took viagra on holiday hoping to screw around and wasn't she worried about getting an sti? She said they don't use condoms. She responded to my email apology, by telling me that she was sad I stormed off and that I'd made her paranoid about her lover, that he could be screwing around on her, and that she didn't want to be drawn into my paranoia and hatred of men.
So, guess we are at an impasse, and our friendship is seriously in jeopardy.
I don't feel like responding, what's the point? She showed no interest in hearing about my play reading. I told her this, in no uncertain terms. I'm not usually this blunt. Our friendship has certainly changed since I stopped drinking. She's never been supportive. Has often tired to get me to drink again.
She seduced this man whilst drunk, it's all so seedy.
Guess I'm rambling on.
Having a lazy day and reading "Brain on Fire" by Susannah Cahalan.
I'm pissed off that my friends and family only reach out when they want something of me. My sister especially. I need some support atm, but no, not a word. Have to stop myself from sending a nasty email to her. Posting here instead.
I've too much time to think. Don't know what to do, just one minute at a time, I guess.
I'm sorry we are all having difficult times, and I am grateful for the support here.
Love to all.

It is so unfair of your friends to try to involve you, in any way, in her affair.
