Hi Hope,

It is so good to see that you have reached a better place emotionally. It sounds like you are really getting on with things, fantastic.

Who knows what the future holds for you? Hope, regardless of what happens, there will always be a positive outcome for you, whether it is with reconciling in 6 months or two years, or whether it is starting a R with someone new.

From reading your sitch, it sounds like you really have improved "personally", and this nightmare you have lived in for the last 9 months has made you stronger.

I feel the same as you in regards to losing my best friend, partner, lover and most of all, family. It was hard for me to accept that our R breakdown took only 12 months to achieve (after 15 years of bliss, W has even agreed to this). I don't know what it is with OP's, but the euphoria does make people behave irrationally, and they will eventually realise this when it wears off.

I should really be thanking my W for making me see this, and giving me the opportunity to begin a new chapter in my life, possibly an even happier one. I hope you see this as an opportunity for yourself as well, you are still so young and have so much to look forward to.

Anyway, enough ramblings by me,.

All the best Hope.
AndyV
