I learn something new everyday about myself and for that alone I wouldn't change the circumstance.
I am learning to help others based on the most soul-shattering experience of my life and that my friend is quite frankly awesome.
For me to be able to put aside my hurt, pain, anger, despair etc...And help just one person well that is a reward I never thought would come out of this situation and I am thankful for the chance to make a difference.
I feel the same way. I have had a few friends tell me lately that their marriages have gotten better since my separation. They have used my situation to work on their own marriages and I guess in a way I'm glad for that. Ya it sucks that my marriage is going down the tubes, but hey, If it helped somebody else out in the long run, then that's a bonus I guess.
