I'm so sorry, futureunknown! My sitch never got that far, but I can just imagine.
Perhaps your WAW is finally realising who was there at the most important times in your family's lives --- between you and the children. Those memories are so precious. OM cannot even come close to feeling the feelings you had during those times. Like, when the children were born --- where was he? Nowhere! You and your W were wrapped up in the joy of their births, I'm sure, and no-one can know those moments. Only the two of you! When I told my H this, I think it was one of the things that got him thinking about our R.
Take care.
