I understand everything you are saying, and appreciate the insight. I am trying to live by those ideas, but it is very, very hard.
W is in a massive tailspin at this point, tremendously depressed over everything she is losing (H, friends, H family). Note that she is the one who asked for a D! It is very hard to sit by and watch, but I don't really know what to do. Do I try to console her, or just step back and let it go (which is killing me to do).
Feeling very, very helpless.
