We have to stop doing what doesn't work (for ourselves and/or our marriage) and start doing what does work (for ourselves and/or our marriage)!
We have to focus on ourselves. It's not selfish...it's survival and self-improvement. We can't improve ourselves if we're thinking and wondering about our wives who left us! We've gotta think about us and how we can do better.
We have to 'choose' to feel differently and we can start that by 'thinking' differently.
At this point, we have to do 'what's right' for us. Doing what we have been doing is NOT right for us! I think it's about detatching.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
