Husband, I'm thinking of you. I'm not a theist, so I don't pray, but I will keep you in my thoughts.
My hope is that you remember that you're a person deserving and capable of love and compassion, regardless of the state of your M, or your W's opinion. In Buddhism, we are reminded to not be overly attached to other's opinions of us, because they will change.
I've been writing for about four months. I'm beginning to realize that the fiction writing process is a journey into the unknown. It starts with questions, that you're attempting to answer in the form of a story. A writer has to accept that the process evolves, and that answers aren't known for some time.
I think this is also a lesson for us LBS's. We have to accept that our questions aren't going to have an answer for some time (some will never be answered). In the meantime we keep practicing towards a spirit of goodwill towards our WAS, and cultivating love, joy, and compassion in whatever we do.
