Thanks for the question LFA. I have not come around much of late as I am no longer DBing. 9 months out, my wife has never wavered in her desire for a divorce. She is on her second boyfriend in that period. She has consistently blamed me for everything, been a hypocrite in attacking me for things she is 100 times worse about, and generally acted like an immature person incapable of being in adult relationship. I have weighed it all and wrestled with what I want and what I owe my kids, and decided that I deserve better.
I am now dating a wonderful woman, who is beautiful, smart, and I am experiencing all the joy of a new love even in the midst of grieving the loss of my marriage.
I think DB is a great idea, but I also beleive there are some marriages that are too broken, more specifically some spouses that are just incapable of being true partners. I am glad I did what I did and fought the way I fought for my marriage. I have no regrets and that is a valuable thing.
