Doggone! Gotta be like a death in the family, without the death! Don't know how many times I've seen folks that I've said " Now there looks like the "All American Family", as I did when I saw in Eddies previous avatar, then, only to see the bottom drop out! Stay strong my friend! Wishing, and praying for you both, as lives take new paths... ~Scotty

Have no fear... Eddie is one of those guys that bounds and rebounds. Never seems to be a good ending to those situations but the strong persevere. Reading his posts is like getting advice / info from a best friend. A very talented individual with real life experience that will continue to shine.
Hang in there Eddie..... were pulling for yah !

Eddie, good to hear from you, and that you are getting counseling... a sign of strength. It's amazing how a concerned counselor can help us see things in a different light, and understand better, and ultimately work thru the things we need to so we can productively pick up and move on. Hope you realize the obvious support you are getting from this site is genuine and heart felt:thumbsup:

Eddie,
You are in our prayers. Things like you are going through are very difficult. Don't be afraid to seek help, we all need it now and then.
Best wishes,
Rick

Thank you everyone for your support.

The counseling has been amazing. It's cleared up allot of my issues, and given me direction again. One of my biggest problems was in trying to rationalize why she had the affair. Now that I understand it better, I no longer care what her excuses are to justify it. The same thing is now true with all of it. I just don't care anymore, and I want to move on and work on the ne beginning that I have with my life.

One thing that I was told that really helped was that it's not my job to judge her, that's up to God. It's sounds simple enough, but when I heard it, something clicked inside of me, and I realized that it was true.

I've been working on my front room and I'm very pleased with my results. I still need to trim it out, and build a new desk, but overall, the transformation is significant. It is now my "man cave" with dead animals on the walls. LOL It's my sanctuary and happy place. I look forward to walkin in my door, and I'm happy sitting in here.

Now that the weather has warmed up, and temps are hitting 70 degrees every day, I'm ready to do some mowing. I've done my front yard once, and enjoyed the heck out of it. What I really want to do is hook up the rear finish mower to my little tractor and spend a few hours on my trails. Unfortuantely, the grass hasn't grown enough to justify it just yet.

For those who advised visiting my brother, I'll be there this weekend. I'm going to help him out with the lighting in his shop and give him an 11 pound, smoked, Greenburg Turkey that's been in my freezer since Christmas. I don't want it, and I hate throughing it away, so I'll give it to Todd. He'll eat anything!!!

That is the hard part, learning not to care. Guys like us will always care though but to learn how to let go of the daily caring is what is hard. It took me a while but I had the help and support of a lot of our (my ex's and me) friends. Having those close friends who know us both and have for a long time was great in helping me to realize that there was nothing I could have ever done to keep this train from derailing. Some people will never change. So I will always care but have let go of worrying about her and since I have let go I have been able to be happy and embrace this chance at another fresh start Keep up the great work Eddie, you will be fine and can actually enjoy your home the way you want to

Hey Eddie I am glad to hear you are doing better. Tell your brother we all said hey. I always get antsy to do something outside this time of year. I started a job of smoothing out a hillside that that I want to be able to mow with the Rotary cutter I like to work on my trails until they become trials and then I wait a while. Good to hear from you Eddie.

Who told you that it had to grow to a certain point before you could find enjoyment in mowing it? No justification needed. Just do it and have fun! :thumbsup:

Glad that you're doing OK friend. You seem to have your priorities right and that's the main thing.
