SG,You can't know how you would act, unless you've walked in another's shoes.
True enough. Which is why I prefaced it with "I firmly believe". And I do "firmly believe". My situation isn't yours, or Heywyre's . There are different people involved. I also firmly support Heywyre's decision, because she knows herself, her h, and her sitch better than anyone else could.

I think what you really mean is that you would never respect yourself again because there is no way you can predict how your partner would react.
I know my partner extremely well, enough to not only accurately predict how he would react, but also how he would feel about it. You don't know us, so you can't know what I know. Make sense? *smile*

It would be founded on humility, not weakness, although many tend to see them both the same. Humility actually requires more strength and courage than most of us have.
No, it would be weakness. In my case. Not yours. Not Heywyre's. I don't think Heywyre is at all weak for staying. I'm only speaking about me.
