y room and went through in my mind some of the things she has compared me to and said about me to her friends and me. And, I stopped in mid thought and asked myself, why do I want to be with her? Other than keeping our family intact, I have no answer.
I'm thinking the same thing right now. I don't want the kids to suffer. I think they need a full time Mom and Dad. If that is how she is going to be then we have to have the serenity to accept things that we cannot change. I'm sure there are other women who are lonely out there now willing to step in and accept us for the men we are. Her loss.
I always hear that in 2 to 5 years the WAS regrets their actions.
Yep. There's actually a study I read several months ago that compiled statistics on who recovered financially quicker who remarried first, etc. And the statistics showed men bounced back financially much quicker and remarried quicker - for both about 3-5 years. I think the study was cited in an article in Time a few months ago. I don't typically read Time, but the cover story was about D, so I read it. Pretty good article too.
