I've been divorced 6 years on Christmas Eve. I am an LBS left in the wake of an WAS who never totally walked away. She left her newest husband several times and has now returned once again to our home for what she calls the final time. We are sharing a bedroom but not a bed. Intimacy does not exist between us. We are living as co-parents to adult children and grand children in a brother and sister type relationship. We go places and do things together and she introduces me as her best friend and x husband.
Yes I still love her and and have never stopped. She says not to expect anything from her as far as a romantic relationship goes and that she may never feel that way about me again. Kind of like a sexless marriage ;-)
I have no idea if this will change over time or not. She can't divorce for a year because of some backwards South Carolina State law, even though we live in Massachusetts. So I guess I can stick it out another year and see what happens.
I posted for while in MLC but the redundancy of all the similar situations caused me to stop reading and posting. This is just a post to let you all know that things can turn around from an MLC divorce. To what extent I don't know at this point but will let you know if things change.
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all ! DavidA
You vote with your feet. Divorce final 12/24/2004 I Give Up !
Peace and Blessing to you David. And thanks for your post - it gives people like me hope to not give up - anything can happen.
I truly hope it works out for you. I believe most WAS/MLC'ers do come back at some point. I know my door will always be open for my STBXH. In the interim, I will be moving on and not giving up.
Thank you again. Encouragement!
