I've been very relaxed without having to deal with my W's drama day in and day out. It's definitely easier when you don't see them every day.
I was soul searching yesterday and asking myself; what is it that I love about my W? I could only come up with 2 things: 1) She's the mother of my children. 2) She's beautiful.
Other than that, I could not think of any other intrinsic value. What does that say? What was my "love" really based upon? I think that I was in love with the idea of a happy, intact family more than I was in love with her as an individual. If I was to have just met her; I don't think that I would be interested in her as a partner at all.
