Thanks, #8.
I agreed to the D, telling her that I did not agree, but recognizing that she was at the point that this was going to happen. I think she is conflicted, but I cannot pin my hopes on her changing her mind. To do so would be foolish and way too painful. She and I have been through thick and thin for 19 years, and this is hard to deal with. I want to comfort, but know that I cannot. Tearing me up, to be sure. I am the one asked for the D, and I feel bad for W? I must be truly messed up.
