I often think that those of us who walk away with a D, and try to make the best of it and see the brighter side, appear to not stand, be bitter, or whatever. But, mostly it's facing the reality and truth of a situation, and accepting what we are dealt with and making the best of it. We are supportive of everyone who wants to stand for the M, I know I did til the very end, through some zany stuff. And, while I believe in compassion and love, like you, I also stand for being true to your own self and health, and to maintain values and standards. So often, it's easy to let our sense of normal go while we try to understand....understanding does not equal acceptance.

A D does not have to mean the end of the road by any means. I may not be married anymore. But I still stand for my XH in a way. I still believe in him and am rooting him on that he will find happiness one day. I will be the first to tell him that, too.
A.H..my DB buddy..
Thanks so much for your kind words and compassionate posts. It's people like you that keep me coming back to post my updates as I am not married, but do want to keep the postive energy flowing. Thank you for recognizing that.
