And showing how very long timelines can be before a WW/WAW really works though their crisis, at least enough to acknowledge their actions.  Eight years!

No worries Grok! This site was a huge comfort to me at the time, so I feel good to be able to give something back.

The three most pivotal bits of advice I can give:

1. Exercise, exercise, exercise
2. Do not ever behave and speak from a place of fear - it inevitably makes things worse and it makes you unattractive
3. My counsellor looking me straight in the eye and saying “Tell me again why you are fighting so hard to be with someone who is treating you so abhorrently.” And me not having any answer.
