Been reflecting on your comments on patience. Right now I feel it's all I've got. It means doing and being a lot of things I don't feel comfortable with. For instance I've always been keen on working out things logically in conversation, teasing out ideas - so was my W during our good years. Now, however, she says that was lacking in the 'passion' she craves, and we can never get a conversation past 5 minutes without her getting angry. So I've had to abandon my practice of a lifetime where such conversations are concerned. There are many more examples.
So why do I continue? Because something inside me tells me the time is not right to call a halt. She has had a R with another guy, (supposedly over - so that's all right, eh?? ) and yet she is telling me to go. Were the situation to be reversed, I would be the target of opprobrium from all and sundry.
Mainly, as you commented upon on my thread, I'm doing it for the kids, or at least for my R with them. And I'm still hoping, yes, I can't deny it. And being patient.
