The problem with me, is that I love my H more than the world, and would probably wait till the end of time for him to realize it....

I've posted this elsewhere. I read a book "The Power of Now" and the writer talks about relationships. His point is that many people don't actually love their spouses, they are addicted to being in a relationship.

I've been trying to figure that one out for myself.

A coworker told me his second marriage has been better than his first one -- which ended 25 years ago -- in every single way, yet he still thinks about his first wife at least once a week.

His point was that the feelings and memories never completely go away.

I don't see much hope for my M. I expect to be D by this time next year. I also hope to be much stronger by this time next year. But I also believe I'll love my STBXW for the rest of my days -- or at least the good memories/qualities of her.

Luckily, I believe I have enough love for another person and that I'll find her out there.

My W may or may not realize what we had and lost. She's a very determined person once she makes up her mind. My kids know though.

There is so much ahead of you. You may always love your H, but you can find someone else and be better for it.
