dcr,

You sound like you've got it together, no matter what happens with your W. I haven't gotten to the point where I've given much thought as to whether I could be happy without my W. I suppose I could be, but man, the devastation that would result is almost unthinkable. The people who know us (including the kids, family, neighbors, and friends) would be utterly shocked. The kids would have an awful time trying to recover. We've completely hidden the A, and have hidden our other problems pretty well. As for me, I'd ultimately be OK, I guess. I'd probably try to just be by myself for awhile. But I don't think that would last too long. I like being married, or at least with someone. I know that I can attract women, although the idea of starting the dating process from scratch does not sound like fun. Yikes. I think I'll stick with trying to get this M back on track!
