RCR - a good post. What I don't like here, and which I think is more prevalent than when I first started tolurk, is some people who rubbish people standing for their marriage as sad losers who should get a life. As if they have seen the light. Now I can get that advice anywhere. And I don't want it here.

I am not saying who should and should not post. A number of people who are divorced post here, and are among my very favourite posters. They tell us more about the journey . .

Some people simply find that after reflection their marriage is not want they want. I like to hear from them too.

But most of us here are struggling to understand this tough life transition that our beloved spouse is on, and which is affecting our life too. About how we can make our journey meaningful, to become the person we are meant to be.

The wise , the humourous, the tough and the ribald. I enjoy them all. I don't enjoy being rubbished because of the choice that I have made, not out of desperation, but out of love and conviction and compassion, to wait for my h. To do that we have to be in the world, but not conforming to it. I have seen enough mariages restored to give me hope, and enough not restored to make me realise that this is a choice that has an uncertain pay-off.
