bizarre,

That is great that I've provided some glimmer of hope for you w/ your H. I'm so glad that you can benefit from what I'm putting here. I think that is why we are here -- not only to vent, but to seek answers and provide assistance to everyone else. I'm so glad I have been able to help and I hope you'll be able to find more from me to assist you in the future.

I do want W back w/ me as my ultimate goal and I know I need to be more vigiliant about breaking the habit of riding to her rescue and responding to every call, text, and e-mail. I guess it just feels so wrong and rude not to do it, and that in itself is crazy for me to ponder b/c of how rude she is to me.

Anyway, I'm also open for a miracle, but I know I'll be ok if one doesn't come. I'm going to be fine, but I still won't wish I could have saved what was us. I'm more concerned for D growing up wondering why and always wishing it was different for her than I am for myself. But, ultimately, you are right, as W must learn what life is like w/out me to be there for her. She's never had to face this before.

Thank you again, my friend.
