You advice is amazing. You are helping me by me being able to read what you write here. Do you have a thread here? Reading what you guys write has helped me tremdously. I consider my self pretty strong but this OW stuff and the divorce stuff I feel like such a wimp. Having put 27 years in to this relationship and we are still really good friends (which he still considers me his best friend, I'm the friend without benefits only financially) is taking a toll on me. I have lost my drive and am really struggling with it. Cali posting that article on detaching has help so much. I go back to it 3 or 4 times a day. Cali, We will survive this and I am so thankful you shared the detaching article. I am here for you ..Thanks for all the advice. Have a good day.
