OP - Thank you for your thoughts. I think I have made a lot of changes over the past 2 years. Most of them happened naturally following a lot of soul searching and new "insight" into who I am. I know I have more work to do on me, because I do not want to feel so stuck, frustrated and confused by not being able to understand the situation I am in. I think it is these feelings that fuel my anger at times. I think when I can get past that there will be more changes in me. I have taken some major steps in my life, I have made some changes, and I think they are positive. Given another chance, I think there would be a lot more A/B grades to our marriage. However, at this point, I don't think I will get that second chance.
I think the majority of the problems with our marriage resulted from communication problems----which have only bottomed out at this point.
I will continue to work on me, for me and my kids. I do believe that some day H will realize that he screwed up the best thing he had going for him in his life, the question that remains is when will that happen.
