Short, my h has used the bad marriage thing also, believe me. And now that I am looking at things, I have to say that we were not happy in a lot of ways. But as you said, why not address it? Like the two adults we are, in a thirty year relationship. Just address it like a big boy and let's work it out. But sadly, that is not the choice they made. And that is the choice they have to live with. Me, right now, today. My choice is me. I choose to live my life, know my truths, analyze my shortcomings, change the things I can and choose to, accept my responsiblity for my stuff in the marriage and go on. He chooses her. His choice, his problem. I guess I took my big girl pill today.
