I've accepted that he is leaving, as best I can. He's the one who has to make it happen though. . . .I know that he truly feels he MUST go, no matter the financials.
One of the things that keeps coming up in all of the reading I am doing to try to understand how I can learn to accept this change in my life and move on is the concept of resistance - basically, what you resist grows stronger. The resistance actually feeds it. I remind myself of this pretty often when I start dwelling on what I don't want. I am still very much a beginner at learning to control my thoughts, but I do think it helps. I have viewed your thread from time to time (altho I don't usually comment) and I have thought a couple of times that resistance has been a big part of your experience in this sitch. I am glad to see that it is easing up for you. I hope you have good GAL plans for the w/e.
