Remind me again why all the reasons that a WAW should have an epiphany and shudder in fear at the prospect of divorce are not applicable to the LBW?
I think that has been an impasse for me. "Oh, she'll see how awful it is"..."she'll come crawling back once reality hits"...how is that not my destiny too?
It just seems like we make the case on here as to why marriage is so important and divorce is so bad and they'll see and then we simultaneously try to convince ourselves that it doesn't matter and life will be fine regardless.
I am exhausted walking that line. Why would H wake up? Why would he regret? Why would he work for it? Where is the value?
Because you have seen the value in yourself. You are confident. You don't need to beg or plead. Because you will be the better person and lead by example.
H wake up? You said he's been confused lately and sending lots of texts. This OW is a diversion and a way to prop up his ego.
