thank you for your thoughtful analysis of the sitch and hearing me out, and I really think you have a good take on all of it... and I agree with pretty much everything you said.
of course I know how much I contributed to this problem. as I said, this is why I am so tortured... that I had the love of my life and I did not do the proper things to cultivate that relationship.
and I do recognize that the kids are the most important thing right now. I don't want to be away from them any longer.
as you said, though-- this is not so black and white... me choosing career over kids... its more do I dump my career to chase after MLC spouse to other town with OM... and obviously the answer is yes...
