Hey Antlers here's one man's take on what the man with the fast machine was saying. I think he is saying that your life is not in her hands, it is in yours. The ball is in your court to do what you will with it. And as far as the impact of her words on her. She has told you that you have no future together. What will happen when se realizes what that means for her as well as you. Especially if you are ready to stand alone.
I realize that my life is in my hands. All of our lives are in 'our' hands! Yeah...I can do what I will with my life, but unfortunately it won't involve her! And that's where the problem lies for me...and many of us here! We don't want our old marriages...we want new and fulfilling, loving marriages...we just want them to be with our spouses! Impact of her words on she and I? From what I've seen and heard from her over the past 5 months...she means what she says! And she won't miss me at all! She was so close to me before...but now she's a zillion miles away! I have to stand alone! I have no choice but to do that! It doesn't change the fact that I'm sad and scared, and I don't see how I'll be able to enjoy the rest of my life without her in it...at least right now!
"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.
