Just catching up- Way to go with the marathon AND your sassy skirt! Did you eat a big meal after? Can you walk today? lol!
About the men being emotionally detached before they leave-I did the same as lalxx when my WH said the same things her H did. Here is what I guess- EVEN IF YOU did try to work on it, your ex wouldn't have come around if there was an OW! (I can't remember when he started seeing her or if you even know)
So you did not waste your time- I remember resenting that I was the only one working so hard to try and get him to come around and that he needed to want it too. That was before I knew about OW and after I found out but thought he ended it.
