I just know that life is too short for you or I to be unhappy. I guess seeing just how short life is (i.e. Deb's death) probably is what makes me sad. I have felt like I was keeping you in a marriage that you are not happy with and preventing you from finding the happiness you deserve, and that hurts me a lot. If something were to happen to you, I would feel awful that I didn't make your life happier.


Hi Choco
Good for you for initiating this discussion. The quote above was written by your W. My H said almost the exact same words when he left me. Not to worry you even more but those words can just be a nice way of saying "I want out." Part of me feels like that right now myself. Life IS short. Why be unhappy.
I don't know Choco. But I think you have to be on offense here as best you can. You can't necessarily change her mind but at least you can say you made the effort.
Hope it works out for you.
