Question: How do you feel about your current relationship status?

Answer: It’s something I didn’t want to address, but I guess at some point it’s best to share. My current relationship status with Rebecca is “in limbo.” We are trying to work out some “kinks” in our marriage right now with a therapist to decide on a path forward for the future. We aren’t divorced or separated, we’re just taking a break right now as we each decide our direction in life, then see if we can find some common ground to meet in the middle. Right now, everything about my job at UNCG and Life Design Catalyst work is up in the air, with potential opportunities all around. And I know that Rebecca is trying to figure out where she fits in all of this, since there’s so much up in the air right now. It’s not the best place to be right now, but it’s a place and we’re making the most of it. Don’t have more to share other than that. Now you can understand why I’ve been reading and writing about relationships so much, not necessarily trying to fix things, but for me to get a better (and deeper) understanding about relationships and about life. I believe with everything in a quagmire (personally and professionally), it’s been really hard to concentrate and stay focused. But with LDC Trainings coming up two weeks in a row, I need to stay focused on the task at hand and produce superb work. I look forward to this journey…
