My sitch...long but please indulge me

[Gardener]

billclay,
I've been reading along and just now catching up after a few days off:

2. Unlike most folks on this site, I've been thru this before. It sucks and it's painful, but I know I'll get past it, move on and be happy...regardless of the outcome.

3. Other than struggling to pay the mortgage, there are no financial ramifications for me.

4. We have no kids together, so there are no custody issues. Although I love and miss my stepD's, they're old enough to decide for themselves what, if any, relationship they want to have with me.

5. If the D does happen...once it's over, it's over. My W will no longer be a part of my life any way, shape or form unless I want her to be.

Ditto.

I think I reached an epiphany last night. Someone asked me a question that put my whole sitch in perspective. The question was simple and the answer even more simple. "Why would I want to be with someone who doesn't want to be with me?" My answer..."I don't".

Double ditto.
Bravo.
