41M. I'm 11 weeks post op of a full thickness supraspinatus tear and bicep tenodesis. Around week 9 was when I really started to notice my progression. My range of motion is leaps and bounds better than just a few weeks ago. My pain is minimal and it's getting stronger everyday. Even a few weeks ago I wouldn't have thought Id have this much movement currently. It does get better, keep up with your PT and stretching. Don't overdo it!!! If it doesn't feel right, stop!! I was so nervous I was going to reinjure it but now I'm gaining more confidence in the repair everyday. It sucks but you can do this!!

Like the title said tomorrow is our 14th wedding anniversary. My wife is the one who initiated the divorce, she was cheating. I tried to make it work but she decided she was done. We are still currently living together until the end of the month. Last night I told her that tomorrow evening I was going out with a friend (this friend happens to be female but its plutonic) and she was pissed. She went on and on about how she wouldn't do that on our anniversary etc etc. I was taken back by her comment. I replied "You wanted to get divorced, I'm trying to put my life back together and figure out how to best be here for the kids and myself, why do you think Id want to spend our anniversary at home with you ??" Am I wrong? I mean the marriage is over, I feel I have no obligation to do anything like that. If I'm off the mark please let me know. Just looking for perspective.

I'm currently in the process of splitting up with my wife of 14 years. We have two kids ages 3 and 7. I caught her cheating again. I did my best to keep the marriage together for the kids but she was checked out and I wasn't going to give anymore of myself to someone who wasn't even going to try. We had a consultation with a mediator the other day. The mediator suggested we stay married until the end of the year for tax purposes. I was fine with it because we'd be living in separate places. She was not. When I inquired why, her response was "Well what if I meet someone??!" I responded with "Meet someone?? That's not even a thought that has popped into my head, my focus is on the children and making sure they're getting adjusted and taken care of." I was so put off by her response that it took me days to process it. The one good thing I took from her comment was that it affirmed I was making the right decision.
