I replied a little later, "Thank you for your honesty. I want a marriage where the one I love, loves me back. I know I will have that again, it just won't be with you".
Truth? I cried. A lot. Death of a dream and all that. But only for 15 minutes or so.
Because I know something I didn't know before. I am going to be okay. Better than okay. Because, now I know. And that is freeing, too. I am free to let someone, someday, love me with a great love that H was incapable/unwilling (doesn't really matter which) to give.
BBJ, Thank you for this thread and sharing your story & wisdom with us. I cried when I read this, because it hit home so much. You are right, who wants to be married to someone who doesn't feel the same? Incapable/unwilling whatever, it doesn't matter. Thank you for this insight, I will take this with me & paste it into my favorite DB quotes. And you are an inspiration & doing fantastic but I know you had to go through hell to get there. Please know reading your story helps me & many others who are not as far along. Thank you so much & wishing you & your kids all the best.
