Okay another update.

Definitely feeling a lot more positive with life, starting to get used to being single and starting to enjoy it. There are lonely times still, but not that often.

Have made a big decision though, in October I am packing up and moving over to the UK. I have a British passport as well as family in Scotland and England where I can stay. Firstly I am going to look at touring Europe for a month or 2, then look at getting some short term contract work in Scotland, unless I find a place I really want to live while touring Europe.

I also want to get across to the US and spend quite a bit of time touring. Would really like to do an East - West run as well as a few other places I would like to see.

So most things have been organised for this, just need to sell a couple of properties and finalise/legalise all splitting of assets with the ex wife.

Speaking of the ex wife, not sure if this is a good thing or not, but I feel like I no longer have any feelings for her at all. I don't hate her but just really want all ties cut as soon as possible. I guess the feelings at all is not quite right, as I still hope she can find what she needs in her life and don't want to see her suffer, but at the this stage I am all about myself.

Yes I still want to eventually get re-married and start a family, but I want to see the world for a while and not regret the opportunity to be able to do this.

Well that is where I am now, in a much better place than I was 3 months ago. I still know there is a long way to go, but I do see light at the end of the tunnel.
