Thank you, kissak. That is so nice of you. I think the bright side is that he is being honest and telling me he thinks us parting ways is best. Funny enough, all along he told me he wasn't coming back, and then over the last year he would say he had too much guilt. I guess there are some things that have remained consistent.
Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
