Thanks everybody - I just felt that I had been doing this forever, and nothing was getting better, so it must be me. Bleh

Yes, I would have taken more time for ME, and been more selfish. I also know, sadly, that if my marriage were to be restored I would be less open, more guarded, and more careful not to expose my emotions. I feel that I was too generous and open and candid in my marriage. Gave too much and took too little. And I don't like that I feel this is the lesson I have learned. . . .

Everyone says how hard it is to restore a marriage. Hmmmmmm

Thanks for all the input, I feel slightly less stupid, since it is a shared experience.
