So, I am realizing that MY behavior has less and less to do with my W's decision to proceed with a D and seek her happiness somewhere else. And while that does not ease the hurt for me, there is some comfort in knowing the majority (maybe even all) of the reason she is leaving me lies with, and IN, HER.
GIMA, and that is the first step to clearing your mind up a bit. You've told her you didn't want to D and she made the decision so you can move forward now. How is everything else going?
Sol,
Everything else is sputtering along. I am handling it, but this week has been tough. I can recognize my emotions for what they are, and I know I will be ok with time. But, even by recognizing the cycle of emotions, that does NOT get you a free pass to bypass them. If you see a "get out of hurt free" card (like a "get out of jail free" card in Monopoly), send it my way!
