Seriously, how did you get to be so wise in all this MLC stuff? Your analysis of the 5-7 month mark is exactly where I am (timewise also). That mantra that has been going through my head the past couple of weeks that I have been trying to SMACK out is that I deserve better than this. It is such a counterproductive thought at this point, yet it is so hard for me to make the thought go away.
I am definitely angry in ways I haven't been before. But when I step back and look at it from outside of my head, I realize that if I was in a crisis (of any kind) I would be devastated if he didn't want to stick around.
He does deserve for me to stick with my vows. So do the kids.
Interestingly, this "anger" phase for me has also made me reexamine myself the past day or two and the changes I have made and still need to. I do like who I am becoming. I am frustrated that some things I wanted to try/change/do I haven't yet. Mostly my fault.
I cannot tell you what a Godsend this board has been for me - all the advice and support has been absolutely invaluable. Thanks all!!!
