Well said and I agree. A house is just a house. I have learned to look at things differently since this has all happened. Possessions are just possessions and in the grand scheme of things, they are not that important. What is important is my childrem, my wife, the rest of my family and my friends. These relationships can bring far more joy and far more sadness than any possession.
Because my W didn't have a great childhood, she has developed a habit of putting her friends ahead of her family. I'm not sure why that is, but I have seen it in her. Maybe it is that her friends are not critical of her choices like family is. I'm not sure though. Maybe it is that her friends tend to be beneth her and tehn put her on a pedestal and she enjoys that validation.
Being that she has basically lived with OW from about a month after she left, I don't know if you can really say that she is on her own. Part of my wants to see her fail on her own and part of me doesn't. I guess I want this life that she has created to crumble around her so that she can realize what is important.
