A long list indeed. Been over a year. Last thread was a bit off for me so I want to repeat the opening here.
Brief recap: Me: 51, WAW: 43; two kids: S9 and D6 Bomb (I don’t love you – I am leaving next month): Jan 06 She never left but I moved out to give her space: 11 May 06 She wants a D (via an email): Jun 06 Complaint for Divorce filed D: 11 Oct 06
WAW wants a D and will not consider changing her mind. I made changes and worked hard and I was hoping for a turn around. But nothing has changed and now it is time to move forward.
No, I am not quitting. But there comes a time when if you love someone you must not hold them against their will. If she feels certain that I am no longer right for her, then she cannot be right for me. That is her decision; it says nothing about me.
Time to *man up* and be a man, not a boy.
I haven't been letting go of W. I am letting go now. I'm sorry she is gone. It's nobody’s fault; it's just the way it is. I must accept it; I cannot move forward until I do.
It is time to GAL, move on, focus on me and my children. Time to banish the anger and hate and frustration. Time to live for me, not for validation by others.
I am not a failure here. I am happy and my life is full.
Opportunities await. Even the fear of the unknown.
