I am going to file for D next week. But for me, the way to handle this is to remember that I have to protect my own dignity.
TH I am not sure what kind of advice you got here, and for that I am sorry. You should never involve your children. That is what the MLC'er does.
Apologize. I think that is the best thing.
DB'ing does not work for all marriages, but it CAN work for everyone. It is not about saving the marriage, but making you the best you that you can be. Just because a person is in MLC does not mean they will come out of it. It takes time, and patience.
I am filing because I did hit a point where I can't do it anymore. But this is an individual choice, and one that must be taken with great consideration. There are people who can survive for years and have a wonderful marriage when this mess is finished. And there are people who are tired of going through it. But in the end, handling it with dignity, honor and grace, whichever way it goes, is the best way.
(((hugs)))
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
