ourcrisis, thank you so much for posting on my thread. I read some of your past posts and I see the resemblance. I agree with all that you said. What do you say to people that say "Yeah, I could have stayed in my marriage and MADE it work, but I wouldn't have been happy." The reason I ask is because a close friend says this to me often. She makes me feel bad, like my marriage is less than it is and that I am just staying in it to stay in it.
Mark, I was expecting your post. It's been a tough day of 2x4s, but I just got done reading some of my authentic happiness book and I'm learning about gratitude and forgiveness. I am going to start changing my thinking by focusing on what I am grateful for and forgiving my H for the past. This will not happen overnight, but it is a start. I'm going to try NOT to focus on OM like you said.
