Thanks guys, it's really helpful to hear other people and the situations they are in. I don't know what I would have done without this board.
W is still very upset about how the last few years have been (rightly so) and I honestly don't know how she will react as the weeks go on. As I mentioned earlier, she said she finally has the strength to leave and doesn't want to be weak again. How do I tell her that I don't want her to be weak, I want the strong her. I think we were both really relying on each other to validate ourselves. If we both grow seperately, we could be soo much better together. Our expectations of each other would be lower and realistic.
Do I just wait for another conversation and try to work it in?
