Faithful H:

Just read your thread and wanted to add my bit of congratulations to you and your W. What wonderful news; I'm truly happy for you both.

This is the kind of narrative that our society needs. Clearly, some M should end, and others will end despite wishes to the contrary by one of the partners. Still, three months into my separation, I believe, though not naively so, that better a better marriage can result from the pain. My WAW and I are working on ourselves individually and have minimal contact now. It may end in D, but she has not mentioned that. I don't want a D. So, I will stand for the M just as you did Faithful H and pray for a similar outcome while at the same time realizing that it might not happen. I guess I'm saying I will remain hopeful, but not jump to expectation of success.
