Well, you can DB all you want & as hard as you can but at some point sometimes it's not enough. Like in my case. And maybe Puppy's.
My thing is people here work so hard and DB their butts off, and sometimes, if not most times, is the WAS even worth it? I mean sometimes you have WAS or in Puppy's case, S, that maybe have mental problems or are messed up in some way. I think there are cases, when divorce is just necessary: abusive marriages, serial cheaters, long-term addictions, mental problems, and esp. I will add the proviso that if they're not willing to be treated or work on those issues. I don't think marriages should be saved in some of those type of cases. Then you DB for yourself and your family. I don't see that as contradictory. Karen
