They make their worlds out to be going great. They don't want you to see that they are having a difficult time with their decisions. That's why DB says not to believe much of what they say and half of what they do...
True dat.
My W has been telling a mutual friend over and over how happy she is, and she was saying that a lot to me too in e-mail. Then she maybe slipped a little on the phone that she's had a lot of bad days, and I didn't hear a ton of happiness on the phone either...they likely want us to think that leaving is the best thing they've ever done, and to reinforce to themselves it's the right decision. Can't focus too much on what they say, just gotta let them figure things out and maybe they'll realize this isn't the best decision they've ever made.
