I exposed to OM and my own workplace, and also to the STBXW family. Positive results from both. OM having a very tough time at work, whereas I have nothing but support it seems. The in-laws have been fantastic, openly disapproving of her behaviour, and constantly asking me to drop by, still supplying me with farm eggs and game!

I am hoping the pressure is finally coming to bear on both of them.

The one thing I have had reinforced during this tumultuous time is that too many people in the world just want the quiet life and refuse to stand up for any kind of morality. I have lost count of the number of people who just "don't want to get involved," or "just don't talk about relationships anymore with x" despite me asking how they would feel in my situation. I have deleted these people from my life mainly - as far as I'm concerned they're accomplices in the destruction of my marriage.

Just the same as no-one bothering to ask the teenagers to stop graffiting the wall, or the litterbug to pick up their litter. Everyone is scared of the consequence of standing up for something that's right these days. And marriage has become a throw away commodity, just like a mobile phone that is designed to last only for a year, or a TV that is cheaper to trash and replace than repair.


Reality is that which, if you don't believe in it, doesn't go away.
