I think I have reached the stage of acceptance. Divorce is not my choice, but staying in an unhealthy marriage with a man who does not value me is a less desirable choice.

I no longer feel the desire to punish my H. I love him and want him to be happy. I hope he finds that somewhere. I will do what needs to be done to lessen the financial impact on us. I do not want to ruin us. If we can work together (while apart) on getting out of debt, that will be good for both of us.
