RMG, It sounds like you did all you could to make the marriage work. Some people do have more "staying" ability and the desire to make things work. I think it may be that some people are just less selfish and they are content to take what they have try to make the very best of it.
Glad to hear there were no children with XW#2 to add any more difficulty to the situation. Also, I'm glad you have found something good now, and I hope #3 is the "charm." I will try to catch up on your situation.
ROT,
I just saw it as I took this M vow with Kim before God..... Before her family.... Before my family..... Before our friends.... To her...... I did not take it lightly.........
While I was not the perfect H..... I NEVER had EA or PA... I did try..... She gave me NO help in letting me know what she really needed... All she had to do was ask...
I guess I see things in more of an old fashioned light.....
