SG - I TRULY understand where you are coming from. As a matter of fact, I have to say I thought the same until I was put in a much more vulnerable position - one in which I had to make that decision.

My H has always held me on some kind of pedestal (very common for M/W I am now discovering - but that's another story) and told me how much he respected me, how strong I was - blah blah blah. I have always thought "if this happened to me", staying would reduce me to a blubbering mass of weakness and disrespect in his eyes and he would never respect me again.

What I found out, much to my surprise, is that it was quite the opposite. I did the last thing he expected me to do - STAY!

But, of course, you have to do what is right for you - no one else.
