Hey Jess

Just managed to catch up on your thread after spending the week in anxiety city. LOL I have enjoyed reading all the back and fourths between you all.


I read you post about your wife and understand the trepidation when after all this silence they begin to voice how they feel. This can be a scary moment especially if you are unsure of which way it will go. I can see you are getting great practical support from Laurie and Michelle, as the saying goes "You don't know what you don't know!"

Take care

Took a catnap after the potty break.
My eyes needed to shut for a bit. 
Been driving since 4:30 am PST

Now a small stroll and then back on the road for another hour and a half till I get to Laurie's.

Be sure to give Laurie a big hug for me!

And don't let her talk you into loaning her your tummy!

Thanks for the antics here....

I have arrived at Laurie's and gave her hugs from all, but especially Michelle!
She is preparing tacos for her two sisters here.  Karen says hurry up!

Tomorrow the thought is that Laurie and I may head to Tessa's home and deliver the last two water tanks. 
But you know Laurie with

Next future days

(Thankfully she stores pasta on her fridge, I won't be able to fit.  Freezers don't count do they?)

Glad you made it safely. No, not hugs. Give her some big wet ones. Too much? Sorry, I've had a glass of wine. Ok, what ever.

Yes Liz, this is new territory and it is scary.  We both need to be honest to each other when expressing our wants and needs.
As far as particular topic, Laurie and Michelle have painted the possibility of a poor outcome.
I personally am holding out for a loving prospect between my wife and I.

Dear Jess:
Please drive safely....  I trust that you will enjoy your visit.
...How how long will you be there????

Oh, and (water?) tanks on the back of your truck for getting some nice and fresh Northwest water while there???
At over 8 pounds per gallon of water make sure that the rear tires of your truck are well inflated!!!

I will be eagerly looking for your updates and as @Donica mentioned.... PICTURES !!!!
Hugs,
Danielle

Danielle, my
Present
Length
Around
Northern Oregon
is tentatively set till Monday.

As much as we need water down south, I won't be bringing back 4,400 lbs. of water.
In total Tessa will be gaining nearly storage for 1000gallons.  The amount of rain here in Oregon is a bit more regular than in California.  So they are better suited here.

Oh Jess its such an awful position to find yourself in, my heart goes out to you both because I doubt your wife is any happier about it than you are. You have talked extensively with the other gals and they have far more info than I have about your situation but I want to say to you that, it doesn't have to go badly. Much will depend on how your wife feels about being in a relationship with you and not him...My wife has still not told her work colleagues for fear of being singled out as "different". I do understand the practical reality that Laurie and Michelle both talk about.

I hope it works out for you
Take care

Liz

I really hope things work out. I walk the tightrope every week with my marriage. Following your posts and wishing you the very best.

Hi Jess, I hear you in your concern about your marriage. My wife and I have been through two years of "interesting " times and I wouldn't say it's over. But we are both feeling much more positive at the conclusion of a 3 month separation and having worked out some decent compromises. Communication should help, but I get that it can be scary, what is said. I hope for the best for you both!
