DID XH M OW or not??

[Silent Chrleader]

...For Silent Chrleader - I hadn't thought about what your counselor said before - mourning the loss of the future we agreed on. Today that is so applicable in my situation. My in-laws (soon to be ex in-laws) are celebrating 50 years of marriage today. I am a little sad. I would love to be a part of the celebration as I have been a part of their lives for about 27 years. But I am also thinking that I will never have the opportunity to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary. I remember saying happy anniversary to my FIL two years ago, right after H left. I asked him how many years he had been married and he said "48 - no big deal". I looked him square in the eye and said "yes it is".

Hugs!

Hi, (((w8ing)))

Yes, I went to a wedding a couple weeks ago and they had a dance for married couples and they kept having couples sit down if they had been married less than X years, until at the end the longest married couple (50 years) was dancing alone. I cried. My mom brought me up on romance novels and I have always been a total hopeless romantic and always hoped/planned to have one love of my life..... letting go of that (especially when my H refused MC or to even discuss it) has been VERY hard for me!! But I am coming to accept that I can't make him do anything and I have to be content that I did all I could.

Take care, [[[[w8ing]]]]!!

And sorry for the hi-jack, (((((peace)))))!
