Jeff,

I agree with so much of what frank_d says and ultimately if you choose not to reconcile your M, that is your choice. I would hope however that you reconcile with the mother of your kids.

I'm also wondering whether your choosing to not stand is really what you believe to be the right thing for you or is it because you still feel like a victim and blame her for how you feel. If you are truly happy with YOU right now and can't see yourself being happy with your W, then great, BE HAPPY. That is all we want.

Some people won't stand at all, some stand for a short time, some stand for one year, some longer and yes some I would also say stand because they don't know how to move on. Whatever one chooses, is up to them but ultimately our goal is to be happy with who we are.

Always following along and wishing you all good things you deserve.

Hugs,
ISLH
