Stories from the Edge (2)

I had to chime in and say -It does make sense. Your separation is still very new - just since last month, right? I can't believe it would be easy for any LBS to "walk away" just b/c H or W made a decision to leave. People can ask any of us why we are putting up with WAS, but as you are pointing out, they haven't been tested yet, so they don't know what they would do in your place. You married out of love and you want to stay married out of love. The vows usually say "for better or for worse", not until somebody's pride gets hurt or there is a life crisis that throws the marriage into a tailspin. These times are "worse", but look how many marriages do recover. The success stories on here definitely keep me going when I feel low.

my heart is broken. I can't seem to get my head to take control.

I can't remember now where I was reading this, but I think it was one of the "Mars/Venus" books, but one of the ideas was that the mind and the heart do move at different paces - it's all part of the process.
