Previous Thread.


Thread title is for effect for myself to place focus emphasis on me and where I am going. Not to become self-centered but to have goals. The bike can represent the life I want - not all about the bike but rather, focused on quality, joy, preparation and yes - backbone.

I like the new title of the thread. And believe me when I say, we understand the process. Just do your best not to backslide.

Thanks Spiral. Keeping and regaining focus determination and consistent effort in sustained direction is hard and requires concentration and learning. Also evaluating progress helps me be open to course correct.

W texted, “ do you think I should open up a retirement investment for myself? We have been doing our taxes together up until now. At some point we might divide our assets.” For context, I have a work pension and a retirement plan in my name (shared asset) with my higher income and W has a savings plan.

Ideas how to respond? Haven’t yet. I have been talking to L and also getting some financial advice for myself and our family but have not shared that with W. This is not an area of strength for me but I am getting informed and taking care of business to look after myself, our family and to leave a legacy.

I also have life insurance with W as beneficiary so that she can pay off our house should I die.

She has fired you as her husband therefore she relinquishes her right to seek your counsel. I suggest not responding.

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.

Love at all costs because you are loved well.

Rockon has been told not to interact with her about 1000 times.

Maybe this is the one that finally works?

W texted now and told me she is really not doing well and has asked for help to find a counsellor.

Rock finds her a counselor. Counselor convinces her she’ll be happier divorced. Rock continues to directly contribute to the demise of his marriage.

You’re coming up on a year Rock. What have you learned? How have you changed?
