This will probably be my last post to you as I won't be on DB for a while. I am embracing the new found freedom life has thrown at me and moving to Thailand for at least a year to teach English and hopefully have a brilliant time travelling and making new friends.
I don't regret the path I have taken, trying to save my marriage, because I have learnt so much from it. DB has taught me many things because it came at a time where I was open to it as nothing I was doing was working. It hasn't restored my marriage but it certainly helped me, STBXH and I are in a much better place and I feel quite at peace with the situation now. Listen to what Gucci and others are saying and put it into practice. I have followed Gucci's posts to other people and they really helped me with regaining my self esteem (thank you Gucci if you are reading this!). One thing I do know is that I will never allow a man to treat me in this way again and also allow myself to wallow the way I did - that was my choice to make to allow that to carry on happening.
Mark, you have to help yourself here, no one else can do it for you. Detach from your wife’s drama and let her get on with it. Let it be water off a ducks back as much as you can. Look after the most important people, you and your children. Most of all, try and have fun, life is too short not to.
