just got the same advice from people today - go down the legal route or she will screw you out of a lot of money and you will be hating yourself for it later. on the otherhand, if we are trying to love them as a friend and unconditionally, the legal road doesnt seem right. guess i'll be the sucker that gets taken to the bank in hopes of showing her i care. its just hard to believe what different people they become.....if you love him, love him because you want to love him, not for any hope of response. it would be nice if we could see any math odds of how often people actaually get thier spouses back - on the other hand, even if its one in a million, were still going to try.
