T2~ You sound great. This post is worth printing out and reading and re-reading. You have gained so much strength and knowledge about yourself thoughout this process. You should be so proud of yourself, girl!!!!!!!!!!
Quote: I've also come to realize that while I may never have the good fortune of being truly loved by my H or any man again that that doesn't mean I can't be fulfilled in my life without that.
It takes a while to get here, but once you do, it feels so good doesn't it? YOU are in control of your own destiny and your own happiness!
Quote: realized that in some ways, I'm expecting him to be a man he NEVER was.
I've realized this about my H too. Not sure if I could ever "go back"...I could "start over", but only after MAJOR changes from my H that he isn't willing to see, much less make right now. You are in such a good place with this right now!
Listen to your heart, T2, and you will know the best thing for yourself! You have become such a strong person!! (((((T2)))))
Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.... (thoreau)
