Yes, angelica, that is all so true as well.

I remember my H telling me that at this point in time, he's used to living alone, being alone. It's become the norm for him and I don't think he trusts himself to try to be close to anyone right now.

He also told me that he cannot be happy with anyone if he isn't happy with himself and his own life. Pretty basic, but at least he finally "gets it".

angelica, isn't it something that we can now discuss this in terms of years? I can't believe how long it's been since this all started.


Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
