Best of luck, Ralf. I'll miss you on here but you have to do what's best for yourself. Looking forward to your updates.

Thanks LDT not going anywhere as such just trying to break the pattern of the terrible rut I have got myself in to, it's soul destroying that I now seem to be doing the same things day in day out with no light at the end of the tunnel, so I'm just looking at ways to change all that and one of them is the forums I post on, I will still be around and as with now I will chip in, it's just that I need to do something different.

I'm trying the best I can to pull myself up by my boot laces, I need to do something as I am stuck in a terrible rut and a cloud of negativity and I don't like it one bit, I need to change the way that I act, feel, think, and behave because quite frankly I am below par and not up to my usual standards and being honest with myself it's just not good enough and really can't continue.

I'm tired Chosen & LDT very tired, I would normally of had 2 holidays by now but all I have managed is one night away at easter, equally I am not impressed with her attitude and I don't like the gear changes I detect from her, today is her birthday and I hope it's the worst one in all her life and that her and all her family drown in a freak yachting incident, barring this of course I will arrange a date and time to meet up fairly soon but I just want her to stew a bit, and I want time to research, develop, and perfect what I need to say.

No, (as a born again Christian with 2 belly buttons to prove it) I give you my word that's not the case and I haven't thought about that for a while until you just mentioned it, to be honest I'm not feeling too good at the moment and have been back to my Dr this morning to do a bit of meds tweaking, my BP is up too which isn't like me, the last 2 times I had my BP tested it was perfect both times, I have never had problems with my BP and it has worried me a bit this morning, I have had to make an appointment to go back and see a nurse in 4 weeks time to have it checked again, but to answer your original question no I'm not avoiding meeting for fear of what I might hear, when we meet I want to be at my fighting best that I can be both physically and emotionally and right now neither boxes could be ticked, I'm not firing on all cylinders at the moment and I would rate myself about 60% out of 100.

Re: Recently separated after 17 years of marriage honest advice and views needed
Hi chosen thankfully it's not massively high and the Dr wasn't too worried about it, but me being a worrier I am concerned about it because it has been spot on the last 2 times I had it tested but now its slightly high, I wonder if there is any connection with that and the chest pains I was getting or is it all just anxiety related I wonder ?.

I think its all anxiety related. I never got chest pains with high blood pressure. Anxiety can cause all sort of weird symptoms.

Re: Recently separated after 17 years of marriage honest advice and views needed
Hi Ralf,
I'm pretty sure it's a combination of anxiety and your body and mind completely drained form a year of limbo.
I had diarrhoea for about 6 months when my wife and I split, it was all linked.
This was kinda what I was getting at the other week in that I think for your own health and sanity you need to 'find peace' with it all. It is what it is, you can't change what's happened and it's all about accepting what's happened. Like I said before, there is a huge difference between accepting the situation and reaching true acceptance. Some people never reach the latter.
Ralf, if there any chance that your latest plan is to re-build both physically and mentally in hope that your wife will see the 'old Ralf'?

What did they say? The emails that is. Remember one of the early rules? Listen to what she's 'really' saying to you. Not what you read but the hidden messages.
Let us know.

Are the emails more business or personal? Are you encouraged, Ralf?
